I found <a href="http://holiday.icsc.org/dailysales03.pdf" rel="nofollow">some data</a> to corroborate your statement. Granted it's five years old but I can't see people's procrastination changing too much. ;) Things were still pretty quiet though. Anecdotal, yes, but I still would have expected more people than I saw. Greg: Good point. I found some data to corroborate your statement.

For sure, day after turkey is a big deal (my medium-sized consumer electronics chain does 5-6x better that day than any other single day in the year), but real christmas business is mid-late December.

They've had to re-allocate spending money for gasoline and home heating. I've also notice an increase in groceries due to higher shipping costs. Of course less people are shopping.

It's been busier there for a while ever since they starting selling blowup Santas in October. I guess that's their insurance that the droves will keep coming back. Maybe we'll see next year's x-mas decorations in January? Jerry www.leads4insurance.com I didn’t go the mall but I did go to Walmart and it was painful wading through the droves of people.

Sunday after T'Giving can be slow at many places. People have exhausted themselves the two days before and no longer want to shop. The other possibility is they have gone to church to ask forgiveness for how much money they spent. I have seen this happen before. Sunday after T’Giving can be slow at many places.
