"We knew it could be touch-and-go for final holiday sales given early shopping in October that likely pulled some sales forward plus price pressures and cold, stormy weather," NRF chief economist Jack Kleinhenz said.

American consumers "are still engaged and shopping despite everything happening around them," he added.
