The creativity and emotion mixed together are great. Funny thing about Black Friday - I actually went out to a mall with my wife (first time since being in BSchool). My wife thought it was funny and remarkable how I was most excited by the fact that the mall was busy. "Lots of people means lots of shopping (hopefully), which helps the economy!" She has been really proud of my transformation through school. Thanks for playing a part in that. I love it, Denise!

I notice the e tail intensity increasing. While they have growth on their side, I observe a strong similarity to the old brick and mortar retail approach to customers. Consumers want to enjoy the gift giving time of year, and situations are shifting possibly never to return. Your idea of returning to what excites consumers is hopefully picked up by more decision makers. Much appreciated. Denise,

This is great. I think you captured the heart of the problem: The fun, the relaxation and the randomness of Christmas shopping has been replaced with a desperate dash for discounts. I'm inspired to get back to basics this Holiday Season. Thanks. Denise,
