Still-in-the-Red Friday?

I’m breaking my blog silence this week to bring this prognostication:
My family and I met other family members for an early lunch today. To get to the Indian restaurant, we passed a large mall complex (surrounded by big box stores) and a second shopping area a few miles further down lined along the main drag with strip malls.
And what did we see?
Not much, actually. Parking lots were a third as busy as this same “Black Friday” last year (and we didn’t shop then, either).
Now I can’t speak for the whole country, but at least in the Midwest I expect to hear a collective “Oh, $#*@!” come the close-of-business today as retailers wring their hands and wonder where it all went wrong.
Church, are we ready for what’s coming?
