Thankful for More Shopping?
Did you know that Thanksgiving was once moved to
create more shopping days before Christmas? It’s
true! In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
changed Thanksgiving to the third Thursday m November
to give the economy a boost. In 1941, the president
returned Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday. If you’re
kicking off the season with a shopping trip, our consumer
trend watchers say popular items for the next year will
include bamboo flatwear, frames, and furnishings; khaki
clothing, herb gardens, and cheese
cakes. Hawaiian shirts, clunky
footwear, velvets, suedes, and
chenille fabncs are also in
A woman is always haying something.
