The Santa Index

Hmmm... Food for thought...

The latest surprise victims of the recession: Small-town Santas.
The latest surprise beneficiaries: Internet psychics.

Incidentally, consumer confidence has fallen to its lowest level ever recorded.

Why ask for toys from Santa when you’re asking a psychic about your chances of getting a pink slip this quarter?

We’re used to watching the TED spread as an indicator of economic health. Maybe we should start checking the Santa spread.
