Holiday Sales - so far.....so good

This happened again this week, with universally-gloomy predictions for "black Friday," the opening of the Christmas shopping season. Yesterday morning, the Boston Globe, to cite one of many examples, headlined "Black Friday takes a hit from the economy" and highlighted its pessimistic account with the National Retail Federation's prediction of an 11 percent drop in Black Friday shoppers.
In fact, though, most people's incomes are no worse today than they were a year ago, notwithstanding daily references to "hard times" and casual talk about a possible depression. That reality was reflected in what actually happened yesterday: a 3 percent increase over last year's "black Friday" sales, which itself represented a fat 8 percent rise over 2006.
