Shoppers were out in force today on the the last Saturday before Christmas.
There are just six days left until Christmas Day and plenty of people were out making the most of the Lexicon, Bracknell.
We were out in the town centre today (Saturday, December 18) to find out how people feel about the big day next week.
We spoke to shoppers to hear what their plans are for Christmas day and if they've bought all their presents.
For the majority, this Christmas feels more special than last as we're able to socialise more.
Lauren Do and Nicola Clark from Wokingham just need to finish their wrapping.

"We're here to try and get into the festive spirit trying to finish off our Christmas shopping and still with Covid hanging around, try to get back to some sort of normality.
"I think people are making more of an effort to meet up this year. I live in Spain so it's nice for this year to actually get here and be with the children and spend time together."
Aaron Long came to Bracknell to do some shopping and his son Harry hopes to get a new bike for Christmas.
The 48-year-old said: "It's not even Christmas eve yet what are you on about! Still got loads to get.
"We're massive fans of Christmas, big time and to be able to spend time with family, we're really looking forward to it."
Duncan Feakes, 57, is excited for Christmas after spending last year in isolation when he tested positive for Covid.
He said: "I'm doing a little bit of last-minute Christmas shopping and also my mum is here for the weekend so to show her the new Bracknell town. I love it here it's a massive improvement. Christmas here is a bit subtle but nicely done and it's nice to see it buzzing with lots of people.
"I'm always excited for Christmas although it's a little bit subdued this year we've quite not been able to get together in big groups as we would have done. We were in isolation on Christmas last year so this year has got to be better than that because that wasn't much fun at all.
"My wife tested negative but I tested positive so we had to isolate over Christmas day I didn't have any symptoms."
