this is nothing new. Every year Christmas spending moves back another day. At the end of the first week in Jan we will know the real numbers, I think they are pretty good.

Oops I see a huge discussion here about the same article you posted. I agree with Jimmyg. We'll just have to see how this works out.

One thing I am certain of though- Christmas, as a non-working holiday and its significance when it comes to commerce is diluted compared to 20 years ago. I know people who went out to dinner for Christmas dinner this year, unheard of a few years ago. As for retail it is just the "sales season" and people don't care as much as they used to that that TV is there exactly on Dec 25th, I think anyway.
