Question I got out my calendar . . . . . . .

Looked on the days of the month, added them all up and it came to 365. And I know I lived everyone of them. So . . . . . . . that just proves one thing . . . . . . . . you can't trust the media.

COUNT the days yourself at . . . .

Lightbulb Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving fell very late this year. Thus, there are a few less days to the end of the year than if it had fallen on, say the 24th. I think that's what their talking about.
Note: I'm not in the habit of making excuses for TV commentators.

Stay healthy,
Andy

Yes, I believe they meant there was 6 fewer shopping days till christmas this year. But no pressure or anything.

If I start shopping on December 24th, will I then be 5 days too late for Christmas?

ken, would you believe that ...what next.
make a wish and you got it...
but, as you know that's not the answer...
you can still shop 365 days a year...

think about this: if there are more total sales this year they will tell us; wow ee
if there are fewer sales this year, see
those 6 days did make a difference???

you can not win...
