Xmas Season Predictions

[moneymaker]

My Honey and I have done the Black Friday thing for the last 3 or 4 years and I have to say I think the lines were shorter this year. I did notice that stores like JC Penney’s, Home Depot, and Costco seemed to have hired extra help this year,which was nice. My overall observation is that numbers will be down,we spent less than normal,like everyone else we just have everything we need and can’t justify buying more. We almost didn’t go this year but I’m glad we did. Here’s an interesting link on California employment http://www.sacbee.com/1232/rich_media/1698037.html

More shoppers spending less money. The National Retail Federation.

I’m standing by my prediction of people hunting out bargains – which are lower profits for retailers. This will be within a few percent of last years Christmas season – which was super low compared to 2007 and earlier.

Heh. Isn’t that a bit of a conflict? Besides, no one will watch them anyway. I gave “The Corporation” as gifts one year, and only 1 person actually watched the movie. Seen the Rev Billy movie, it is funny.

[quote=Aecetia]Go buy the biggest television they have and enjoy it. No one I know deserves it more. You need to do this. [/quote]

Aecetia–were you being sarcastic? I have never quite understood this “you deserve it” mantra. Who says a person “deserves” anything? My basic philosophy is: if you can’t afford to pay in cash, then you don’t deserve it.
