December 12th was already being mentioned here, but I found another article about it too.
BBC NEWS - UK - Why Christmas falls on 12 December
This year, Christmas will fall on a Monday - 12 December to be exact. Well, at least for online retailers.

"Mondays are always our biggest days," says Iggy Fanlo, president of field operations at price comparison website shopping.com. "And in the run-up to Christmas, the second Monday in December is always the biggest day."

my experience doesnt' support that at all, my busiest days have always been from the 15-20th of december. But we make a very big point of stating exactly when the item will arrive, so I think our customers aren't worried about the package missing xmas.
