Merry shopping and happy spending in the new year

Not sure about you but I have done my bit for supporting the economy, all in preparation for the coming holidays.

This year, during my Christmas shopping binges, the fear of credit card overload kept popping in my head. I am curious how retailers feel about the news push on this scary topic, specifically at this time of the year.

 "Personal debt a threat to recovery"

We are meant to be blissfully, mindlessly shopping now, not worrying about credit card debt. But it is a silly conundrum - why do I deny my children things all year long only to gorge on crazy spending for one day of the year.

At least I am not a hauler. And another curiosity, how two opposing cultural experiences can be highlighted at the same time - Haulers vs. Hoarders. 





But as I sign off just before Christmas, I have to leave on a fun note. Carl Jones, VP Executive Creative Director for Grey Canada shared this link to everyone in our agency about a real Mad Men office party in the UK - I don't think Carl is at the party, but you never know, he may be very good at hiding his true age!

All the best to you and yours over the holidays.
