1 in 5 Americans haven't started Christmas shopping

wls
By ABC7
December 22, 2010 Consumer Reports says that more than half of all Americans say they completed their shopping last Sunday.

However, nearly one in five people polled say they have not even started.

It is estimated that 10 percent of those procrastinators will hit stores and malls on Christmas Eve.

Money concerns were reportedly the main reason people got a late start this year.
