Aktuálně reports broad sales ahead of Christmas

Retailers in the Czech Republic have stepped up sales on items two weeks ahead of Christmas, in a bid to get Czech consumers to spend more during the holiday season (many of whom, the site reported, had said earlier they would spend less this year, supposedly in light of the economic crisis). Aktuálně.cz reported that various stone & mortar retailers had cut prices by tens of percent, as had internet retailers.
