Another Christmas Socially Mandated Debt Season has come and gone. Is there an economist out there willing to begin the conversation about the stuff bubble? After 11 September 2001, the top fear was not more death, but that people would stop buying stuff.

This trend cannot continue. Do you feel joy or relief today?

From The Las Vegas Badger:

Then at 7:30, we closed the doors and posted our big beef guys from security and other large looking people in front of the doors to keep the people out. We turned away at least 200-300 people in about a half hour. Many people were shocked that Wal-Mart was closed. There was some confusion because the sign said that the store closes at 8:00, so people thought they can come in at 7:55 and do all their shopping were turned away. Only 1 lady became belligerent. She was yelling and screaming until she was introduced to the Metro officers who were there on another call.

A lot of the store was cleaned out, so there won’t be too many after Christmas sales on Saturday. I think our store did about $600,000- $700,000 in business yesterday.

There are numbers of Christians who have resolved to stop celebrating Christmas because they find it to be an affront to everything good and decent in their faith. I think they have a very good argument.
