Exactly what I was going to say. More people = more money being spent. This is population increase, not an increase in spending.
Also, this is a holiday for the children. It's likely that people did spend a little more on this holiday, as they will for Christmas. This should not, and frankly could not, be used to judge the health of our economy.
