Deal flow this Xmas season

Unlike most of the other questions here, this isn't concerned about PE per-say...but I just wanted to know if PE deals are generally dead during Xmas season.

My theory is that since most fund managers are Americans or Europeans, Xmas season is especially important to them and no one wants to work the last week of December...

Basically, this Xmas season is important to me and I'd like to be able to safely know my holidays will remain that, my holidays...

So, lets do a poll for those of you who works/worked in PE, is Xmas generally off for you? Thanks
