Retail slump, my foot
In Pigeon Forge with th family to take advantage of the fact that no one is supposed to be shopping this year. Everyone else had the same idea. It’s packed.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

All of the shopping plazas around here have been crazy packed, too. It’s very odd.

I went shopping on Sat and bought 1 item: a $50 skirt for $8.00! I was overwhelmed by the discounts. I wanted to buy more but with our current financial crisis, I have forced myself to only buy things I need. A friend of mine got all his Christmas shopping done yesterday, so he will not be out shopping for the rest of the year.

I went to Fry’s Electronics yesterday – the place was jumping, even at 10 am.

Shopping isn’t the same as buying.

Unc, I like being optimistic, too, but numbers don’t lie.
All the little kids in America that would normally get their X-mas presents are still going to get them (unless mommy and daddy have been laid off), but they may be getting a soccer ball and a Barbie instead of an X-Box and a bike. And it shows in the bottom line.
Also, in tight times, one would expect the outlets to be packed. Just like WallyWorld posts bigger numbers when folks are feeling thrifty…
