Christmas spending

Christmas is by far my favorite holiday of the year. Along with all of the family time and the occasional snow, Christmas has some serious spending. According to a poll that was done by Gallup.com, The amount that the average american spends on Christmas gifts is actually on the decline. In 2007, American spent roughly 907$ on gifts, and in the year 2010 the average american spent around 715$. Some experts predict that the numbers for this years Christmas shopping will be even lower. On the bright-side though, Gallup's prediction are not as bad as they originally thought because the amount of Halloween spending was higher than expected
