Kulang,

I guess nothing is for sure but feeling pretty good about this. They changed their guidance with only 2 weeks in the quarter so the numbers are a sure thing. I'm from the Boston area before I moved south. Apparel and footwear sell by the weather not the calendar unless you're a kid. With the early cold weather, people have told me boots and coats have been selling well. With more practical gifts in vogue shoes and purses could be pretty popular under the tree.

Looking forward to next Tuesday.
