Neil,

    I am a small-town jeweler and have found exactly the same situation
    as you. Over the past nearly-thirty years I have tried everything I
    can think of to jump start the holiday season, but nothing seems to
    make a dent in the mall-itis in our mid-Michigan area. 

    The weekend following Thanksgiving is dead for us, and doesn't start
    to get busy until the second week of December. I don't bother with
    extended hours until then, and only stay open the last two Sundays
    prior to Christmas.
