The holiday was created in 2008 by Luke and Maisie Knowles in the United States as a way to help those who hate fighting the holiday crowds at the mall, but also don't want to pay high shipping charges for online purchases.
In Time for Christmas
The holiday has now become popular in other countries such as Canada and the Netherlands .
Many of the stores also guarantee package delivery by Christmas Eve.
