I was out doing some last minute christmas shopping yesterday at Cherry Creek Mall, TJ Maxx, Ross, and K-mart. Overall, TJ maxx, Ross, and K-mart did not seem any more busy than they normally would on a sunday afternoon. Cherry Creek was busier, but certainly not overwhelming. It may be that people have planned ahead, or they shopped online, or they are waiting until today, the 24th, to do last minute shoppping; however, I would not be surprised if the 2007 Christmas season turns out to have been slow for physical retailers. The mortgage problems may be having a sour affect on things too.
