Christmas shopping season is in high gear (in theory) but wow, barely more than the usual yesterday at a nearby mall. Christmas decorations not moving and shoppers not buying is never a good sign. Maybe they’re buying like mad elsewhere but this seems to fit with what I’m hearing from others who are being very cautious this year. There are just too many questions about where things are going over here for people to have much confidence.
