You know, we feel pretty strong about our customers' feedbacks, about our partners' feedback, about the current trend that we're experiencing.

And we're building such a great event for this holiday season that we're convinced that it will resonate very, very well with the customer.

You know, the customer now, three years ago, was all about luxury, high luxury, etc.

We can feel that customer behavior change a little bit.

A bit more to high-low, to contemporary, to luxury.

And you know what?

This is exactly what Bloomingdale's is about.

So we feel very, very strong about this holiday season.

This is not what we're planning.

I think, you know, we feel very, very strong about the storytelling that we're cascading about, you know, telling the story of the brand, telling the story about this happy together, about, you know, these activations we're bringing in the store.

The excitement, the vibration, the energy in the store is absolutely amazing.

And I'm convinced that actually will resonate very, very well with what customers are expecting for this holiday season.

Yeah, I think that's a great point.

We're selling products first.

But I think it's how we're selling this product that matters.

I think the selection that the buyers and fashion directors have done is absolutely amazing.

We have curated gift shops with low price point, highest price point, with the trend and newness, et cetera.

They spent a year actually selecting the right products.

And I'm very, very proud about the exclusive products, about the selection that we've made, because I'm convinced that actually there's something for everyone at Bloomingdale's.

It's also what's making Bloomingdale's very special compared to other department stores.
