I have been in California for the past week. It is clear that the presence of the economic down turn is more pronounced here than in Berlin. I went to the Westfield Mall on Market Street here in San Francisco and the atmosphere was the usual holiday frenzy - people carrying multiple shopping bags - but that fever was mixed with sales everywhere. I don't really remember that being the case years before. Usually there are sales after Christmas and then you hit yourself because you bought that great present for cousin Jessie and now the price has been slashed to half of what you paid for it. Anyway - sales everywhere and if you didn't know Christmas is next week.
