I’m thinking Walmart made out just fine. But you’ll not see this mentioned much by the Drive-Bys.

I’d been listening to all this hysteria about Christmas sales being down so and dear Lord you’d think the roof fell in.

Well what the hell did they expect with all the news about mortgages, done by the gubmint and Barney Frank the great Speech Therapist, the stock market, bailouts of every business including Uncle Ned’s car wash...on and on?

Of course us average folk cut down on our Christmas spending. But I’m betting all across the fruited plains most Americans had a nice Christmas day but this year devoid of so much excess of prior years.

We live in a world folks, where a little moderation is the stuff of Chicken Little.
