No Way... DON'T DO IT!! Take Monday or Tuesday off and go in the morning. In Utah, I like to go shopping on Sunday. This is a highly populated Mormon state and Mormon's are discouraged from worldly things on Sunday, such as shopping. It's still busy but less so.

You also might try early Sunday morning. Last week I went to Best Buy at 9am on Sunday and it wasn't busy at all I'm sure it got busy after that, though.

I don't like going to the mall on the best of days so I think I will stick to the independant shops. I only have a couple places left to shop and get a few last things.

Welp, I just got home..finally!!

When I first went into Walmart, the lineups were huge, then on my way out of the mall, the lineups were small, so I picked up a few tidbits.

I was so wiped from the mall, I didn't even go anywhere else..I just came home and ate..I was supposed to go the Petsmart (don't tell Trout)
I'll go tomorrow

As long as dinner's in the dish tonight, she probably won't make the connection, so I guess you're safe
And on the matter of shopping on a Saturday this close to Christmas, all I can say is "better you than me, dear!" Fortunately, I'm now off work until the new year, so I can choose (marginally) less chaotic times. Sounds like your trip was at least somewhat productive.
