Christmas has really got into gear with footfall and sales heading in the right direction as we move into December.

The GTN Bestsellers total sales index for November ended the month down 4.3% but an all time record week for Christmas sales volumes at the end of the month sets the scene for a bumper run towards Christmas Eve.  

Given the number of people seen shopping in centres during this week and no snow forecast, serious upsides could be on the cards for the next two weeks.
