		<description>I didn't even realize holiday spending was down until I read your question. I found a survey on it, and sure enough you are right.


Rising gas and oil prices definitely have put some pressure on people's spending patterns. Makes sense- if you spend say $100 more on gas a month, that's $100 less to spend elsewhere.

Another thing that I believe is affecting spending is consumer debt. American credit card debt is at a high level. Don't have a link, but I read about that several months ago.</description>

For my house our budget is tight with the gas prices being so high we wanted to at christmas it was very disappointing while pumping gas prices being so high we were not able to spend what we were not able to say that.
