Summary

You'll often hear people refer to "the day after Thanksgiving" as the "official" start of the Christmas shopping season. However, it's increasingly more like the day after Halloween, as holiday promotions and sales are already underway by then. By Black Friday, many items are already checked off Christmas lists. With the holiday shopping season upon us, how will tariffs, inflation, and economic concerns impact Americans' gift shopping? Geraldo Storch, Founder and CEO of Storch Advisors and former CEO of Toys “R” Us, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to explain why retailers are starting the holiday season earlier each year and why he believes this will be a strong holiday shopping season despite some economic uncertainties.
