Well it looks like my season is all but over. In fact I thought it was over on the 19th, but Dec 21st was my second biggest day. This is my first season selling online and I am very happy with the results. I'm a canadian but sell only to you americans and I make an extra 54% on every sale after I make the conversion to canadian dollars.

Anybody else care to say what was their biggest day and what was their end of season?

Same over here in germany. since most things are sent out by the german post, last orders for xmas-delivery were shipped thursday.
Even big online shops like amazon needed longer to process orders and the mail need an additionl day. I don't expect anything more this year. Just filling backorders.

In previous years, consumers have been wary of placing "late" orders, due to concerns over online businesses ability to fulfill them. Over time, I think that the perception of where "late" is creeps closer to Dec 25. Way back, sales would drop off at the middle to end of November, and be nothing by mid December. Gradually, that is changing, witness KevinC having a cracker day just 4 days before Xmas.

Success breeds success, online as everywhere else
