"I procrastinated so now I'm here early in the morning," said Helen Camarillo, a last-minute shopper. "I don't know why I waited. Just at home being lazy."

At Toys R Us in west Houston, shoppers showed up at all hours of the night. The store has been open around the clock since Friday and will stay open Monday until 10 p.m.

"Got off work and had to come buy the stuff last minute for my baby," said David Huerta, a last-minute shopper.
