Christmas Impending!

Alert! Start your Christmas shopping now, before time is gone! ...At least, that's what your friendly neighborhood department store would like you to think.
This Christmas season started like any other... Thanksgiving eaten and behind you on the calendar, your children giving you more long letters to ship to the North Pole, you reading said letters, the son/daughter you thought you had finally gotten rid of at college returning, and of course, the sudden and unexpected snow fall.
One thing no one expected was the sudden turn on Wall Street or the blockbuster presidential election. So, while many would like to complete the list included with the letters for Santa, many will be unable to provide as much as they would like, due to lost jobs, or the raising of taxes.
What any people don’t understand, is that the fastest way to get the economy back on track is to spend the money that they are currently stocking in their bank accounts like squirrels before winter. What they should be doing is following the advice of the bear before winter… Eat. Or, spend in this occasion. It doesn’t matter how much the government borrows to the banks. If people continue to hoard rather than take out loans and purchase, nothing will get better.
And so, wonderful consumers, follow the advice of your friendly neighborhood department store, and spend until your wallets are emptier than the pockets of Big Brother.
