Drag on the economy. Please. Collective leisuretime is a good thing now and then.
Or, think about it selfishly. If things didn't slow down in December (or go crazy for year-end deals and then slow down in January), you'd be really tired from working so much.

1. You don't know me very well. It would be hard for me to be more tired or more overworked.
2. The interesting comparison would be, does the commercialization of Christmas generate more overall revenue throughout the economy than the drag effect takes away? Some of the revenue would occur anyway, gifts would be bought in a different setting, so some amount of the commerce would have to be factored out. has this study been done?
