Money question of the week: Will you spend more, less or about the same this holiday season than you did last year? Why?
This is the time of year when retailers and economists would like to be able to figure you out. Have higher gas prices and other costs put a crimp in your holiday plans? Or is gift giving a priority for you regardless of other concerns. So tell us: Will you spend more, less or about the same this holiday season than you did last year? Why? If you include your first and last names and city, your comments will be considered for publication in the Times.
