Shoppers are facing the final hours to get their holiday shopping done.
Some customers say shopping so late brings some pressure since they are up against the clock, but they wouldn't have it any other way.
Retailers say they see a rush every year as customers try to pick up last-minute gifts on Christmas Eve.
Marissa Galiardo, manager at Pennyweights in New Canaan, says it can be a stressful time.
"It's a little overwhelming, but we have teamwork going. That makes it very helpful," she says.
