"In reality, most are never restocked because brands don't have the infrastructure to process them in a cost-effective way," Emily Hosie, founder and CEO of open-box marketplace REBEL, told Axios.

Are banks open on Christmas Eve? Christmas Eve is not a federal holiday, so most banks are open.

The 38-year-old Denver resident gets makeup ideas from TikTok videos and other social media content, not salespeople at beauty counters. She uses an AI chatbot to get product recommendations that fit her budget and to see how a certain foundation or lipstick would look on her. When she buys, it's usually from Amazon.

I'll walk through one for the decor, but they've basically lost me unless I can get the same product-research experience there that I can get scrolling through my phone at home."

Watching the amazing The Muppet Christmas Carol, and always forgetting about the scary scenes, like when Statler and Waldorf show up as the ghosts of Jacob and Robert Marley: 5. Always having the dilemma of which Home Alone movie you wanted to watch first when kicking off the holidays:
