Business owners - what is your worst month of the year as far as sales and such?

I've only been in business for about 8 months. April really sucked big time. I've talked to others who also had a hard time in April. Is this the norm all the way around? What month do sales for you dip low?

January, February, March. By end of March things are picking up, April gets busy and May is the busiest. Then it trickles down until mid September and stays busy until last 2 weeks of December

I'm usually slow after Christmas. March and April are the worst. It starts to pick up again in May. By mid summer, I'm missing the slow months.
Don't lose hope.
