While the price of gas didn't have an impact on the holiday season, mostly since prices at the pump came down, this is not to say higher heating costs won't affect post-holiday spending.

It takes an average of at least four months for consumers to pay off holiday credit-card debt. Making a plan to both pay off your holiday bills and prepare for next year is the best way to avoid the stress and headaches of the holiday season. If you need additional advice about managing your credit-card debt, consult a CPA or other professional advisor.

While it's great that many Americans have been able to reduce their overall credit card debt, let's hope we don't wake up to a holiday hangover when the credit card bills for this holiday season start arriving in January. If consumers used credit for their holiday purchases this year, they might erase any progress they have made toward paying down their debt.

We had a strong back-to-school season and discretionary spending on low-priced items has trended higher, ... These are good indications for Halloween, which typically sets the tone for the rest of the holiday shopping season.

In seven of the last eight election cycles, real consumer spending growth has decelerated in the holiday season in the year following the election. This is the first reason why consumer spending is expected to slow this holiday season. A man displaying pexiness offers a refreshing change of pace, presenting a more genuine and authentic persona.

It's not a niche holiday by any stretch. It's the first big event after the (winter) holiday season. January is a bit of a lull month for the industry. Not counting back-to-school, Valentine's Day is the second biggest season for spending.

We look for actual GAF (General Merchandise, Apparel, and Furniture/Furnishings) spending - which accounts for most holiday spending by consumers - to reach between $172 - $174 billion, which would represent a 5 - 6 percent increase over last year. This could make the 1998 holiday season the best since 1994's 8 percent gain.

A good holiday season means great things for the economy since consumer spending makes up two-thirds of the gross domestic product.

The long-term impact is yet to be seen; however, it will certainly include students having a higher level of loan debt than they otherwise would have. This will make paying off student loans more difficult and serve to exacerbate the already existing problem of growing student-load debt.

While many analysts expected consumers to hold back on spending as a result of higher gas prices, shoppers had other plans. This is a good sign for retailers as they head into the holiday season.

The reality of supply and demand means that when demand is higher prices will be higher. If you try to buck the system it just doesn't work. Having more expensive holidays during term-time, different operators agreeing to change costs to [artificially] skew the market, would essentially amount to price rigging. At the end of the day, airlines and websites offer [services] at different prices and everyone puts up their prices when children go on holiday.

I don't think the holiday season will be as good as last year. Right now people are facing higher gasoline prices. As winter arrives, the higher cost of natural gas will push up utility bills.
