Perhaps all the good little boys and girls didn’t get that big-ticket item for Christmas that they were hoping for…while purchase intentions for most high-dollar durables declined from December, they improved from January ’06 for autos, computers, furniture, home appliances, jewelry/watch, major home improvements, stereos, TVs, digital cameras, and vacation travel…housing down slightly, DVD/VCR flat.
