I still have 8 items to sell, plus I have more Christmas items coming in. Two of my vendors were very slow to ship, so I can't blame the carriers. I'm getting a little nervous, but ship using USPS Priority or First Class, so I think customers can get my items fairly quickly. How about you?

I always end up forgetting how much Christmas stuff I have to sell and by the time I think of it, it's too late...lol.
Maybe I can get some stuff on quickly.
Thanks for the reminder.

I have a good bit of Christmas items, and they've been selling fairly steady since Thanksgiving. Some before, but mostly since. Things aren't moving as quickly as I'd hoped, but they are still selling. Someone bought an ornament just a few minutes ago, and with my 1 day handling, expected delivery date is Dec. 11. Don't despair, there's still some time.

Am still listing and selling Christmas merchandise, both decor items and china settings & tableware.
Sales of all of it have been better this year than for the last several, so glad folks seem to be feeling more positive and in the festive mood to celebrate this year!

I had a few Christmas things left over from last year.
I've sold almost all of them.
Hoping to sell the rest because I probably won't relist them another year.

I started listing Christmas items before Halloween and have been selling them steadily since I started listing. I finished listing around Thanksgiving with only a few different items here and there. What doesn't sell, I'll pack up and list it next year.

Yes, but I sell holiday-related items all year long. My best months for Christmas stuff are March, July and September. Right now, I'm prepping for Valentine's Day and Easter.

I list Christmas year-round, I have over 500 items listed. I'm still buying more, since they will still sell well after Christmas. I have orders due tomorrow, Friday and Monday. I wonder how many of you I'm competing with? (j/k!)
Secondchancemedia - I need some new CD's to play in my shop, I'm sick of the ones I have, and I play them year round. I'll check you out!

I'm still getting Christmas items listed, and this post makes me jealous! Prepping for Easter! Grr!

I do, and I'm not concerned. Everything I've shipped out lately (via either First Class or Priority) has been delivered within 3-4 days save for one package that got misrouted and took a scenic tour of FL, but even that one arrived within a week.

I just sold a Christmas item today (on another ID) and am waiting for more holiday items to come in myself... although not ideal, I don't think it's too late to continue listing seasonal items. Some posters even list and sell Christmas goods throughout the year and do pretty well.
