Productivity in all of my companies and my friends companies lag in that period. One of my companies operates a billable call center staffed by mostly females. The billing drops 25% in the period. The industry will tell you anywhere from 10-30% is typical. If you work in large office environments there is a constant stream of potlucks, party planning and gift exchanges. Really gets annoying after the last week in November.
