With the countdown to Christmas is in full swing, shoppers headed to The Mall at Bay Plaza in the Bronx for last-minute holiday gifts. 

The mall opened at 8 a.m. on Saturday and closed at 7 p.m., leaving shoppers with a few hours to gather their Christmas needs. 

"I'm just shopping for the kids. I got nine of them," said shopper Allen Dennis told News 12.

The lines in most of the stores were very long and some shoppers said they were waiting for hours.
