Americans ready for next ritual Rachel Beck The Associated Press NEW YORK -- Now that Amer- icans have gobbled up their Thanksgiving feasts, they're ready for the next holiday ritual: the start of the Christmas shop- ping season. Faced with five fewer shop- ping days this year to get all their holiday purchases done, con- sumers are expected to crowd department stores and trek through malls this weekend, forking over billions of dollars on gifts. "Consumers are starting to re- alize they have less time this year with Dec. 1 coming right at the end of the Thanksgiving weekend," said John Konarksi, vice president of research at the International Council of Shop- ping Centers, a trade group. "So they're heading into stores early so that they finish their shopping on time," he said. After a dismal Christmas season a year ago, retailers are upbeat about the holidays, opti- mistic that shoppers will be eager to spend thanks to a re- bounding economy and high levels of consumer confidence.
