The people crowd the entrances br at Malls all over town. br To seize the choicest bargain deals, br They'd gladly knock you down. br The retailers all hold their breath br as shopping gets in gear. br Will Santa fill his sleigh as hoped? br -or lay off more Reindeer? br There are plastic toys from China br colored with suspicious paint. br Whip out your last credit card br (-when you see the bills, you'll faint.
