Brand Quotes
Like their offline counterparts, online shoppers have favorite retailers that they frequently visit. They are very familiar with the retailer's brand name and tend to go directly to their sites. However, some gifts may involve more research, in which case search engines and shopping comparison sites come into play. Most shoppers use a variety of channels to get their holiday shopping done.

Appears Quotes
The announcement by Neiman Marcus...makes us as concerned as we have ever been that this Christmas will be extremely lackluster. It appears now the high-end consumer is beginning to scale back their purchases, which does not bode well for the holiday season. This type of thing is clearly going to have an impact on other high-end retailers.

Across Quotes
Meteorology also plays a role. There is a peak before Christmas: this is not because industrial activity, domestic heating or transportation is suddenly reduced after the holiday season but because there is an eastward outflow of air that was previously revolving around Asia. This is the same type of phenomenon that carries dust from the Gobi Desert across to the West Coast of the US.

Annual Quotes
We have PEO and bridge clubs who meet here a lot. Several businesses have their holiday or annual meetings here. Caterers come in for special events and use our kitchen facility. We also have groups from town decorate each room at Christmas and we're featured in Wakefield's Tour of Homes at that time.

Allow Quotes
We continue to make very good progress on executing our strategic initiatives. During the quarter we continued our plan to invest heavily in remodeling and enhancing the customer experience in our U.S. toy stores, ... We remain confident that the improvement being made will deliver substantial benefits to Toys 'R' Us beginning with this year's holiday season and will allow us to better grow and enhance our business well into the future.

Advance Quotes
We are tremendously pleased with the opening weekend results for 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' in both IMAX and conventional theatres. The unique experience that IMAX theatres offer moviegoers is generating incremental revenue for our event films, proven by this giant record-setting opening weekend and advance ticket sales at IMAX theatres. We look forward to continued success as we enter the holiday season.

Across Quotes
We are thrilled to forge this new partnership. This new agreement is consistent with our strategy to partner with brands that are leaders in their respective category, and will further our goal to create innovative and powerful platforms that will further engage consumers at both MLB ballparks and Holiday Inn hotels across the country.

Clearly Quotes
With the U.S. slowdown looking more real each day, the trade deficit may have passed its peak. The slowdown hadn't hit full force yet in October. U.S. consumers are still sucking in massive amounts of imports. The slowdown will be more clearly seen in November and December's figures. If imported goods start to pile up on retailers' shelves this holiday season, imports could drop off fast.
-
Comfort Quotes
We have had a series of rate increases since last year, and so far we have not felt any impact on retailing off all of these increases. However, eventually something will have to give. I would predict that, say towards the end of the year, the fourth quarter, the very all-important holiday fourth quarter, we are going to see that the rate increases will finally take a bite. And that could be a comfort to retailing.
-
Became Quotes
When I first told people I was writing a book, some would say that was interesting, but others thought it was some holiday project and I would lose interest. I think my parents thought the same thing, and they were surprised when I kept going. I'm not sure I thought I would keep going, but then it became a big part of my life.
-
Company Quotes
We are disappointed that sales have not materialized to the degree we had expected, but we point to the fact that the company is expected to show between 12 percent and 22 percent growth in revenue versus the same quarter last year and that we are serving customers exceptionally well this holiday season.
-
Anyone Quotes
Unfortunately, we weren't able to accommodate everyone who wanted to visit our park during the Chinese New Year -- and we regret that anyone may have been inconvenienced. Based on our experience this week, we'll go back and make sure our ticketing policies better reflect the heavy demand around peak holiday periods.
-
Affect Quotes
Unfortunately, we still have Iraq dominating the news and any changes in the situation there will have a big affect -- although I think we are in a period now that's seasonally strong for the market, especially in technology. So, I think everyone's going to be very focused on how companies are doing in this fourth quarter and then, obviously, the holiday season.

Additional Quotes
We are not going to reveal what the drinks are right now, but in regard to Martian Colony we can say it will be Green and the Marty and Artie drink will be health conscious. Child obesity is big issue today and when you drink the Martian Colony drink, we think you will be out of this world. Hat Trick beverage will release additional details in the coming weeks and we are hoping to unveil the Martian Colony drink first by the end of spring, and the Marty and Artie drink in conjunction with the DVD release for the Winter Holiday Season.
-
Affect Quotes
We are going to try to either not work on football weekends or work in ways that don't affect traffic where maybe we won't close the whole thing or maybe just close one side. We also have the holiday season coming up. We've got this entire shopping center, we've got a complex on either side of the interstate. We have to take them into consideration.
-
Cautious Quotes
Wal-Mart's news is a very big deal. There's no doubt that a significant number of consumers are shopping paycheck to paycheck. Most are also waiting for price reductions. So saying that the consumer is still cautious is a good indicator that the holiday season will only be moderately better than last year.

Cautious Quotes
Wal-Mart's news is a very big deal, ... There's no doubt that a significant number of consumers are shopping paycheck to paycheck. Most are also waiting for price reductions because they know that the support of another tax rebate or tax reduction is unlikely. So saying that the consumer is still cautious is a good indicator that the holiday season will only be moderately better than last year.

Believe Quotes
Tracy (Anderson) and I had talked about having a holiday tournament for some time, and now that our program is stable, we believe this is a perfect time for it. It's going to be in the middle of the winter, and I think that it's going to be easy for us to market, and it'll give us an opportunity to showcase UTPA.
-
Bought Quotes
Today, only about one-third of holiday purchases are returned as compared to just four years ago, ... Returns are very expensive for retailers because they have to retag the item and mark down the price. If I bought something for $29 and return it, store may have to cut the price to as low as $14 before restocking it.
-
Writing Quotes
I don’t keep a travel diary. I did keep a travel diary once and it was a big mistake. All I remember of that trip is what I bothered to write down. Everything else slipped away, as though my mind felt jilted by my reliance on pen and paper. For exactly the same reason I don’t travel with a camera. My holiday becomes the snapshots and anything I forget to record is lost.
-
Jobs Quotes
One of the biggest things I used to struggle with was about things like going on holiday. Whereas all your friends can talk about something and plan something all year long, I know that I'm probably going to be away and I'm going to miss all of it. If a job comes up, you just can't be there.
-
Looks Quotes
Everybody does that now. We all take pics... you do the same with holiday photos. You record something to look back on it, even though you’re not really there when you’re taking the picture ‘cause you’re too busy recording it - so you retrospectively go to look back on where you weren’t and tell yourself you had a good time.

Next Week Quotes
When you're young, you always feel that life hasn't yet begun—that "life" is always scheduled to begin next week, next month, next year, after the holidays—whenever. But then suddenly you're old and the scheduled life didn't arrive. You find yourself asking, 'Well then, exactly what was it I was having—that interlude—the scrambly madness—all that time I had before?
