Two of the U.S. biggest superstores, Sears and Kmart, are being forced to close over a hundred shops because of poor Christmas sales.

It was reported that between 100 and 120 Sears and Kmart stores will be closed after terrible holiday sales, forcing the retail giant which owns the brands to suffer a massive blow.

Retailers depend on good revenue during the Christmas season to make it through the rest of the year, so when the retailer failed to make a dent this year, there are massive repercussions.

Sears and Kmart have yet to determine which of the more than 4,000 U.S. and Canadian stores will be closed, but there has been a clear shift in where the retailer will devote its resources.

Sears would not discuss how many, if any, jobs would be cut, but it could easily reach the thousand-person mark.

The retailer is moving away from its practice of propping up “marginally performing” stores in hopes of improving their performance. Sears said it will now concentrate on cash-generating stores.

“Given our performance and the difficult economic environment, especially for big-ticket items, we intend to implement a series of actions to reduce ongoing expenses, adjust our asset base, and accelerate the transformation of our business model,” said CEO Louis D’Ambrosio.

“These actions will better enable us to focus our investments on serving our customers.”

Sears Holdings Corp., based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, said that the store closings will generate $140 to $170 million in cash from inventory sales.

The retailer anticipates additional proceeds from the sale or sublease of real estate holdings.

The company, which operates Kmart stores, Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Land’s End, has seen rival department stores like Macy’s Inc. and discounters like Target Corp. steal customers away.

But the economy is put a sustained financial squeeze on its most loyal customers, those in the middle-income bracket.

The retailer had announced numerous closings this year, but this is the largest group of closings to date by far. Hoped for holiday sales to not materialize.

Same-store revenue fell 5.2% to date for the quarter at both Sears and Kmart, the company said Tuesday. That includes the critical holiday shopping period, a time that most retailers depend on for a sales surge that will put them in the black.

Kmart’s 6% decline in revenue at stores open at least a year was blamed on diminished layaways and a drop in clothing and consumer electronics sales.

Sears’ cited lackluster consumer electronics and home appliance sales for its 4.4% drop off. Sears’ clothing sales were flat, while sales of Lands’ End products at Sears stores rose mid-single digits.

Sears Holdings said that the declining sales, ongoing margin pressure and rising expenses pulled its adjusted earnings lower.

The retailer predicts fourth-quarter consolidated adjusted earnings will be less than half the prior-year period’s $933 million. It also anticipates a non-cash charge of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion in the quarter for a valuation allowance on some deferred tax assets.

This figure is a key gauge of a retailer’s health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.

Sears Holdings said it also plans to lower its fixed costs by $100million to $200million and trim its 2012 peak domestic inventory by $300million from 2011’s $10.2 billion at the third quarter’s end.

A mystery woman has popped up to help families pay their bills brandishing an American Express card at a Californian Toys R Us.

The woman, believed to be a retired grandma, delighted shoppers at the store in Culver City when she offered to pay for gifts for around 50 people.

The mystery shopper was joined by a “sidekick” who helped her pass an Amex card between the lines, according to a report by the Daily News.

“She was very quiet and unassuming and nobody in line had a clue what was going on,” shopper Laura Yoo told the daily News.

“People were excited and crying.”

Laura Yoo said the mystery woman paid for shopping for at least 50 people, many of whom had carts heaped with toys.

The woman’s assistant offered to pay for Laura Yoo’s own $54 bill after she bought gifts for her children.

“My boss would like to pay for your purchases today,” Laura Yoo recounted the sidekick as saying.

“I said, <<Thank you very much>> and gave a hug and she said <<Merry Christmas>>,” Laura Yoo told the Daily News.

Witnesses described the woman as at least 50, wearing a skirt, leather boots and a beret.

The woman would not give her name and has not been identified.

There has been a plethora of “layaway angels” in stores this holiday season, paying bills and debts in Kmart, Wal-Mart and Toys R Us stores across the country.

“It’s the Santa effect, really,” author and psychologist Elizabeth Lombardo told msnbc.com.

“It’s exciting and motivating and when people hear about it, they want to be in on it, too.”

More than $400,000 in layaway bills has been paid off at Kmart stores alone, according msnbc.com.

In one of the most recent examples of generosity, David Wilson, a car dealer from Laguna Beach, contacted a K-Mart in Costa Mesa, California after seeing a television report about donors paying off strangers’ outstanding accounts.

He asked the manager to tally up the balances on all the accounts with balances of $100 or less, and then wrote a check for $15,919.61 to pay off the total.
