Yes, month of December in general is slower in terms of sales. I haven't seen much drop in traffic (maybe a little), but in terms of sales definitely. People are busy shopping for Xmas gifts and such other things that lower a lot of folks budget for hosting!
Yeahbsolutely they are both correct. People are busy with X-mas. We'll see it back within further few days...
Experiencing some down point to.. though it's just for few days because more people are taking their holidays this season
Yes every year as people become incredibly busy in the few days before xmas. I bet you recipe websites experience an increase however :-P
unless ofcourse you're amazon.com you can actually see it on google trends skyrocketing around december
This is normal - every year for as long as I can remember. Don't worry - it picks back up in January and February.
