The world most certainly does not press pause for two weeks over Christmas. It's one of the busiest times of the year for retail, business, and travel industries. Manufacturing operations keep running as normal.

Just because office workers get a holiday, doesn't mean the whole world is on pause. This is nothing like Christmas.

Truck traffic cuts waaaay down between Christmas and New Years.

Fun fact: Truck traffic is waaaay up right now, as JIT inventories have depleted many grocery staples. Also, Amazon.
