Typically, 25% of holiday shopping is based on impulse, according to Marshal Cohen, chief industry advisor at NPD Group, a market research firm.

It's Thanksgiving time, and investors' thoughts turn to holiday shopping and a year end Santa rally in the stock market.

The National Retail Federation estimates sales should grow by about 4% in the holiday shopping season, enough to keep the economy rolling along. The coming week is often a slow one, with markets closed Thursday for Thanksgiving and stock exchanges closing down early on Friday.
