ShoppingBags2007-12-24-1198554842.jpgLike many area malls around the country, Rochester-area malls were packed with last minute shoppers. Many area malls are trying to make up for last weekend's winter storm which caused spending to plummet; for some malls as much as 75%.

News 8 Now caught up with a few last-minute gift-givers in Greece to get a check on how their own shopping ventures were fairing.
 

"We were here early, I'm ready to go home. Yes. Thank God its the last day," says Mike Misiak who was doing his shopping at Greece Ridge Center Sunday.
 

Among the hottest items on many shoppers lists were electronics of all shapes and sorts. Eastview, Marketplace and the Mall at Greece Ridge Center will be open on Christmas Eve from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Malls will be closed on Christmas Day.
