While you shouldn't make any assumptions, you can't count on getting any momentum between the 1st of December and New Year's Day. The whole month is a wild card. That leaves November as the last solid selling month, and even that is cut short by a half-week of turkey basting and another half-week of turkey digestion and football games. November gets on the sales radar screen, but you'd better have done something prior so that those remaining three weeks are as effective as possible.
