Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive

Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

Because of the shift of increased spending by consumers, it's just such a critical industry right now. Christmas is proof of that. Sales of clothing and jewelry fell year over year, but consumer electronics picked up.

Hopefully we've blown the cobwebs of travel and all the other things involved with coming off the Christmas break away. It wasn't the prettiest (victory), but I was real proud of our kids. I thought everybody got an opportunity to get in, thought everybody was able to contribute.

I bought my brother some gift-wrap for Christmas. I took it to the Gift Wrap department and told them to wrap it, but in a different print so he would know when to stop unwrapping.

Tinsel is really snakes' mirrors.
