While I tend to agree with Will76, I do believe this year has been a touch different. Its not just the holidays. This is the first time in my life that gas has been this high at x-mas, and all the foreclosures going on. People are not spending like normal, because every thing cost so much. On top of that, they are all watching their tv every night wondering when we will be plunged into another war.
We have all seen a bit of a downward trend over that last 3 or 4 months, but I believe this will change somewhere near the end of Jan.
This is kind of like a rain storm. The first few hours, you stay indoors and saty dry. and if it last about 5 hours or so, you say fuck it. You run to the car and go to the movies or a friends to hang out. Because this is $$ we are talking, it will take a little longer, but you get the idea.
