December Sales Still Unclear
Early numbers on holiday retail sales have so far been mixed, with some sources reporting 8 percent year-over-year growth, and others sticking to a modest 3 percent.
What is clear is that categories such as home furnishings, video games and electronics were the big movers, while apparel and jewelry did not fare as well.
We are receiving some anecdotal reports from our menswear merchants that sales picked up significantly in the week before Christmas, however.
