Although some stores are reporting hard times this Christmas, there are
examples of some success stories in the making. John Lewis, for
example, has reported that so far this festive season, takings are up
in comparison with 2006. It is hard to believe that shoppers are
spending more in the wake of all the financial woes that have been
reported in the second half of the year. By now, you would think that
people would be trying to bring their debt under control.
