It is nice to see gas prices down. Just wish the food prices would take a dip as well, in my area they just keep going up week after week. Economy down here in SW Florida is doing great for large retailers like Walmart but small businesses and the average "Joe" are still struggling. Being in the food and beverage industry many of our local restaurants, hotels, bars and other establishments have eliminated full time employees and allow staff members to work less than 30 hours to somehow escape benefits and offering healthcare . Basically forces people to work 2 or more "part time" jobs, which leads to more stress in many cases.
With all that said I hope everyone can have a very Merry Christmas and prosper in the New Year.
