Holiday Shopping

The toy retailers will set up shop in two dozen stores for the holiday season.

This morning the National Retail Federation predicted modest growth for holiday shopping this year — up about four percent — and automakers are expecting another strong month of sales.

Several big retailers will increase their ranks of seasonal workers, as consumer spending picks up.

For some companies, 30 days of fasting and reflection return profits.

This year's holiday season was slightly bigger by volume, but the week after the holidays saw a bit of a slide.

A good holiday shopping season for most retailers wasn't enough to help ailing Sears, which will close around 100 stores in the coming months.

Following dismal holiday sales in a year that was strong for other retailers, Sears and Kmart will shut down over 100 stores.

Retailers are sweetening their offers in the final days before Christmas, which could hurt their bottom lines.
