As someone who hates shopping, I really recommend shopping at 8am on Sunday morning, as I did today. There are no crowds or long waits. It is smooth, smooth sailing.
The fact that you feel physically nauseous from being up so early in the morning and that the myriad of weird smells in the mall serve to augment this nausea to the point of complete revulsion with life itself and that you are so tired that you wander in and out of consciousness and can't always remember how you got to where you are or why you are there, those are the only drawbacks I have come across so far.
Well, that and the fact that shopping requires leaving the house; which, in -20C, is an extremely harsh and painful experience that also makes you question your life rather critically.
That being said, it is rather nice to come home and go back to sleep, secure in the knowledge that your Christmas shopping is done for another year.

"The mind of the thoroughly well informed [person] is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value."
