Oh Please....!
With gas still at $2 many people will not even be able to afford the drive to grandma's house! Not to mention heating their own house...
And since the credit cards are still roasting in an open fire...they may be too hot to handle especially with the bankruptcy doors nailed shut by the Republican Kongress.
Older people may have money to spend on their grandkids... But granny had better mind the "donut hole" just in case.
The pre-holiday retail cheer has become a tradition... But the week after Thanksgiving there is usual a pall at the mall. And Kohl's is ALREADY giving away the store, so where are the "sales" going to come from?
Six percent gain in sales this year? Humbug! Three percent would be optimistic...and FLAT would be just about right.
