Santa's middle men forecast a national toy bill near 183 million dollars for the year matching last year. Families face an average cost of about 62.50 dollars for toys and Christmas trees as reliable surveys project steady cheer spending. Additional holiday hires, between 250000 and 300000, will lift the season's payrolls and push 1940 sales to at least the previous year’s nearly 40 billion dollars.
