wahz...

I am far from an expert on retail sales, but the article you posted said that sales for the day after Thanksgiving were up around 12%. Just a quick mental calculation would suggest that with the holiday selling season a week shorter than normal, the sales rate would need to keep up that pace (or a little better) just to break even with last year. Perhaps I am looking at it wrong.
