"Some don't even leave the house to Christmas shop anymore."

I certainly don't LOL. While, I'm not the average surfer obviously, I have been noticing this trend with my friends - many are doing more and more of their holiday shopping online - avoids the lines, the crowds and if one store doesn't have an item, no need to drive to another.

"soccer mom search engine"

With 45% of their users being male, I don't think theres enough "female dominance" to really say that.

62% of those who use Ask Jeeves strongly agree with the statement** "The Internet is the easiest/most convenient way of shopping"

No matter the primary gender, it seems their users are packing plastic and ready to buy.
