			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It doesn&#8217;t take a rocket scientist or Alan Greenspan to know that this Christmas sales will be off this holiday season. Pessimism is rampant and hopefully as irrational as the irrational exuberance period was during the dot com boom. People are hunkering down and saving whatever cash they have.</p>
<p>A recent Gallop Poll measuring Christmas spending plans recorded it&#8217;s lowest level since they began the poll 10 years ago: <a title="Christmas Spending" href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/111976/Christmas-Spending-Projection-Drops-New-Low.aspx" target="_blank">Christmas Spending Poll</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Christmas Spending Gallop Poll" src="http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/fhv90m_6eeqb6d6igtmcrg.gif" alt="" width="289" height="166" /></p>
<p>The $616 average in this years poll is way down from last years $866. But, looking at it from the bright side that&#8217;s still alot money that should help keep the kids happy. Just be sure to spend a lot of time playing games, and doing things with your family that everyone can enjoy together and the kids won&#8217;t even know that finances are tight.</p>
<p>One other thing to keep in mind as you choose which companies you are going to &#8220;spread the wealth around&#8221; to is that there are thousands of moms trying very hard to bring in extra income through their Websites and e-commerce sites. Why not shop online at mom-owned sites to help one another out? One place you can find a number of mom-owned businesses is at our <a title="Mom Owned Businesses" href="http://wahmshoppingmall.gotop100.com" target="_blank">WAHM Shopping Mall</a> Website. It&#8217;s a site that allows WAHMs to add their banner ads at no cost to help drive traffic.</p>
<p>No matter what your circumstances are please enjoy your holidays and have a Merry Christmas season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the end of the year approaching faster then your next <a href="http://www.reunionalbum.com" target="_blank">class reunion</a> it&#8217;s time to make some progress on that gift list. We&#8217;ve got the perfect idea for you!</p>
<p>Visit WAHM Shopping Mall to find hundreds of mom owned businesses to patronize this holiday season. You&#8217;ll find stores offering everything from baby clothes to handbags. Best of all they&#8217;re all owned by moms so your patronage will be appreciated far more then it would be by the Walmart&#8217;s and Toys-R-Us&#8217; of the world.</p>
<p><a href="http://wahmshoppingmall.gotop100.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://wahmbreakcafes.gotop100.com/lists/wahmshoppingmall/custombanners/48650.gif" border="0" alt="" width="290" height="251" /></a></p>
<p>Nearly every internet retail analyst is expecting online ordering to be stronger then ever this holiday season benefiting the usual large guys like Amazon.com. Granted <a href="http://www.amazon.com/b?%5Fencoding=UTF8&amp;node=172282&amp;tag=momzcom-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Amazon.com</a><img style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=momzcom-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> is a great place to buy your electronics gifts, but there are thousands of <a href="http://www.wahmbreakcafe.com" target="_blank">work at home moms</a> (WAHMs) out there that will not only appreciate your patronage far more then a large retailer, but they offer gifts <a href="http://www.joycemiranda.com/store/Default.asp" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.joycemiranda.com/fpdb/images/125.gif" alt="" width="125" height="125" align="left" /></a>that simply can&#8217;t be found at the large department stores or online mega-stores.</p>
<p>Take <a href="http://www.joycemiranda.com/store/Default.asp" target="_blank">Joyce Miranda</a>&#8216;s shop for example. She offers unique high quality skin care products and make-up that you just can&#8217;t find in a department store. Combine the uniqueness of the gifts with the satisfaction of knowing you&#8217;re patronizing a work at home mom and you&#8217;re destined to have the best holiday season ever.</p>
