Latest update from BusinessWeek:

From Mathias Eichler, owner of einmaleins, the European home goods store in Olympia, Wash.:

Sales are up 22% over last year [for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday]. Customer count is up 14% over last year. … Cautiously optimistic might be the word for the season. Growth is welcome, but I’m looking for about 30% for December…. Friday and Saturday customer count was actually a bit down, which I don’t like seeing.

He says online promotions have helped. Eichler hopes to use cash coming in from sales to order more product that he can get in before the holidays, because inventory was a problem last year.
