Well here it is...Halloween evening and the ghosts, goblins, some Spidermen, about 23 dancing princesses and several not so scurvy pirates are out and about tonight. And how was your evening?
Now, we kick it into high gear. Over the next couple of days or so you will be bombarded with holiday commercial after holiday commercial. Sales, Must Have Toys, Jewelry, and of course the perfect holiday feast. Now is the time to see what we are made of.
Do we succumb to the marketing assault over the next two months or do we repel the assault on our senses and pocketbooks? While many of us will start strong. However, some of us will declare defeat a little after the first commercial for the Sounds of Christmas CD has plastered its 1-800 number across the screen and we have our credit card in hand. So a word of encouragement as you venture into this holiday season; be strong, be brave, and above all be afraid...be very afraid, because it will take everything you got to survive the holiday season without going into a debt greater than the Gross Domestic Debt of any small Caribbean Nation.
Other than that, let me be the first to wish you the best this holiday season.
