With one goal in mind — getting gifts wrapped and under the tree — many busy shoppers bustled about at the malls on Dec. 24 for some last-minute Christmas Shopping.
At Bayfair Center in San Leandro, the parking lots were filled as folks made their way to stores such as Target to pick up these eleventh-hour presents.
It was there where the check-out lines stretched though the store with security and employees guiding shoppers to the next available registers.
Despite the hectic atmosphere, most shoppers and drivers seemed to remain cordial both in the stores and out in the parking lots.
Check out the video above to see just how packed it was at Bayfair Center on Monday afternoon.

THEN the fun started. Parking lot traffic was so heavy and impacted that it took at least 20 minutes to navigate the two blocks from the front of Bed, Bath past the Target parking lot to the street where I could turn right and get back to Hesperian. From then on I was home free. Moral: when possible, shop online and pick up at customer service. And allow plenty of time to get out of the parking lot. Happy New Year
