This is good news for the businesses and the economy. I hope that sales stay up.

I just hope people spend within their means. Christmas shopping tends to lead to year long debt for many people.

I hope so too. There is no need to go into debt this season. I personally don't use credit cards and believe that those who do should use them wisely. It is too easy to spend way too much and get yourself in to a lot of debt using them.
