than can have valid projections, or even estimates of what's being spent today anywhere near this early.

And the other thing, (along with the invariable claims initially that this day is a huge success and the later revisions of that success) is that I have also read many times that this is not actually the day that the most money is spent. That's (if I'm recalling correctly) the Friday or Saturday immediately before Christmas . . . wait a minute here . . . okay, I just did a Google search: "busiest shopping day" + Christmas, and the first link that came up was this: http://www.snopes.com/holidays/thanksgiving/shopping.asp

I actually spent a little money today, but only because I needed another set of knitting needles, size 10, and while I was at it I bought for skeins of yarn that were on sale, so I'll knit another couple of scarves as Christmas presents.
