Holiday sex: More, or less?

I define the "holidays" as starting on Thanksgiving, and extending through New Years Day. Do you have more sex during the Holidays, or less. For some people, this time of year is fun and makes us feel closer to those we love (not to mention perhaps extra alcohol consumption), which could end up with more lovemaking. For others it's a time of extra stress, money worries, being so busy you don't know which way to turn, which could lead to a lessening of sex drive? How does it go for you?

It doesn't change much for us with the exception of Christmas week.

We're usually traveling during the holidays so it ends up being less. We'll have sex quietly in the room we're given to sleep in at the in-laws house, but we can't do things like take showers together. Sometimes we might stay with friends and end up in the living room on a fold-out couch, and there's no way I'm having sex in someone's living room when they might walk through at any time.

We usually have more sex. DH has more time off work, so even though it can be stressful, we tend to use sex as a stress reliever! And it's great for working off all those extra calories!

Well for the last four Christmases I've been in a long distance relationship with someone. This Christmas my new man will be away for a couple of months, so again, long distance relationship over the holidays. This means zip, nada, zilch sex for me unfortunately.

Ironically, DH were just discussing over lunch today how much more tired (and how much less sex we're having) lately.
