Just curious - for our ladies, do you find your business is better during the holiday season? And guys, do you tend to hobby more or less over the holidays? For me, the holidays don't seem to affect my "horny" biorhythms one way or the other...just my disposable income. At any rate, hope you all have a great Thanskgiving!

I definitely hobby less. The Holidays are when I travel and spend time with my family. I usually "hit it" again in mid January.

I find November/December to be my busiest months. January after the credit card bills show up is when I see only my regulars.

I also run a charity drive from Black Friday - 20th December where I match any donations they make. That does quite well too. I'm hoping to raise $1000 (total) for each of my charities this year Smiling

It depends on what you mean by "during the holiday season". I don't hobby on the Holiday itself, but I'll definitely pop in for a little somethin' somethin' during a holiday week...about the same amount as I would any other time of the year.

I agree that economic issues would prevent me from hobbying more than the holiday season would.

Week of Thanksgiving and week of Christmas through New Years.

Yeah, like I said, I'd be able to fit my 'once or twice a month with a provider' in there somewhere.

I would have thought that things would be slower. I've noticed that activity in forums like this one usually drops over the holidays.

Yeah, I don't have time to hobby from now until after Christmas, so I definitely agree with your suspicion.

I shut'er down from mid-December until after the new year. Not really by choice but there's just too much other stuff going on and too much money to spend on frivolous pieces of plastic.
