Ed Shepard, 87, who runs a full service gas station in Welch, W.Va., is seen in the Feb. 9, 2011, photo. His gas station is the last of the dozen full service stations that used to service the town of Welch. According to the 2010 census, Welch also experienced more deaths than births. Shepard laments a prosperous era gone by when shoppers lined the streets and government lent a helping hand. Now, here as in one-fourth of all U.S. counties, West Virginia's graying residents are slowly dying off. (AP Photo/Jon C. Hancock) (AP)

That means there were millions more shoppers in stores this Christmas, driving up the sales total. But the average amount of spending per person was down from a few years ago, suggesting consumers are still slower to pull out their wallets. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, file) (AP)
