Bad Christmas Season

This is all very dependent upon what part of the country one lives in. The Denver area in Colorado is doing very well, and never really had a recession, which I attribute to various things, but that's more a political discussion.

I hope things look up for you and yours, soon! Merry Christmas!

Denver, too. Technology, medical, science, engineering, luxury food and zillions of new restaurants, organic farms, clothing boutiques, craft beer, even craft ice cream - everything is doing incredibly well here! There are cranes all over the skyline, new rail lines, new skyscrapers, new neighborhoods - it's really quite amazing.
