Shop 'Til You Drop ...
or at Least Until Your Server Disconnects You
By Susan Farrell
Ho, Ho, Ho... it's that time of year once again when we shop 'til we drop. But in this computerized day and age, there's another option rather than fighting the crowds at the malls: E-shopping. So to make this experience a little more enjoyable, we've compiled a list of our readers' suggested favorites for shopping on line, as well as a few tips and suggestions.

J. C. Penney has gone virtual, with virtually everything on line too. Their site is huge, however ... Reader comments: "The only bad experience I ever had (with on line shopping) was with J. C. Penney. The server was hideously slow and then they sent me the wrong stuff."
