Does is usually slow down this much for Christmas?

I'm not actually surprised because I know a lot of people knit gifts and have a lot of activities going on, but it does seem spectacularly quiet even for that.
Still looking for knitters for two snuggles; I almost have the needles for another snuggle, but am waiting to bind off since I want to donate the snuggle the last week in December and it doesn't seem like we are ready to start signups for new one until then either.
In the meantime, the two snuggles looking for knitters are:
Starry Night (started with navy blue and yellow):
1. susauehl
2. bugsyblacklab
3. calimama (after Christmas)
Green Pastures (green combined with a variagated to represent wild flowers):
1. bugsyblacklab
2. susauehl
3. sakurapanda
Susan, go ahead and send Green Pastures to me as I have not yet heard back from mspwrz.
