Alcohol, chocolate, cigarette sales usually go up with added stress to the common folks. This time of the year, very difficult to gauge the retail market, people always over spend, this time of the year, and there is always the extended time frame for product returns after Christmas.
I have a friend who owns a Power Sports shop, (Quads, Ski-doos, etc), activities haven't slow down for him this year as compare to previous year. Another friend owns a Security Camera & Video Surveillance system company, his business is booming right now.
