No one else wants to change it, so he is considering not going. It just sounds too stressful. We try to avoid most malls/stores that time of year.

Yeah I hate going to to stores during the holidays, that's why I do most shopping online and I already finished buying stuff so I don't have to worry about the crowds. January would be the perfect time to have a holiday get together, some people are very stuck in their ways and don't want to move it no matter what. Even though it may be sort of late, I know one place that actually had a holiday related get together in February once things really died down. January and February are known for being very boring and dull so that time frame is perfect for any kind of get togethers and shopping, in fact January is actually considered the best time to buy stuff since there happens to be lots of sales right after the holidays but naturally most people don't want to be bothered because by that point people have moved on and are probably either looking forward to Valentine's Day or Spring.
