Or you wear your keyboard out.
On the quantitative side, there are 4 less days in the holiday shopping season this year (27 vs 31), i.e. to make the same revenue, you need to sell ~15% more every day (assuming that everybody shops for Christmas after Thanksgiving, which is not necessarily true).
Finally, the CPI index (inflation) was 3.7%, so in real terms, sales were down circa 2.7% (brick and mortar sales were up 3%, which makes it ~0.7% down)
