When it comes to magazine subscriptions,
Christmas comes but once a year

The data above is worldwide. Below, we've done the same search, but for Canada only with roughly the same result:Google offers a wacky little (free) service called Google Trends (http://www.google.com/trends). It lets you enter a topic (Madonna, US Open Sudden Death, Maple Leafs, naked Paris Hilton, etc.) and see how often it's been searched on Google over time, and in various countries (and even cities).
In an attempt to further delay doing any productive work, I recently searched for "magazine subscriptions" and generated the attached graph (1 representing the average number of searches during this time frame, number for "All Regions"). A more detailed look at - for example - the 2007 numbers, shows the beginning of a steady climb in interest about 20 October, and then (surprise) a precipitous drop in interest from 24 December.
