A lot of folks disposable income in late Nov/Dec goes to xmas presents and such, so it makes sense to just hold out for a bit I think. See what happens once the holiday season passes. I know here in Canada at least, I try my best not to ship anything to me in December except items I can't find in stores because it's such a total pile of chaos for package carriers and stuff is more likely to be late/lost/fed to the time vortex.
