January was still pretty busy when I was in retail, but I was in receiving. All of the post-holiday freight coming in, plus all of the Valentines candy that usually starts shipping before New Years. Combined with lingering holiday junk in the way (wrapping paper and bows, in particular, could take weeks to clear out, if the manager didn't just let us ship it back as salvage), the back room was a total cluster. Mid-February to March was when it slowed down for a bit.
