Same here. You couldn't turn on the news before or after Christmas without seeing a story about how stores were offering deep discounts. Well, that's great if there was something you actually needed. Maybe the reason people aren't shopping is that they realized they can live without the stuff and would rather hold onto their money.
I actually thought about going to the mall to see what all the fuss was about, but I knew that anything I bought, no matter how low the price, would be something that I didn't need, so why bother?
