I understand that the shorter a book, the more likely it is to get finished. I just don't see that from now to December 20th is much busier than any other month (unless you are in America).
The UK has Hunkkah or at least shopping for it. Christmas & Boxing Day as well. There is also Kwanzaa for those who celebrate it. Plus there is all the shopping, all the cooking, all the traveling to or having others travel to you. It's is a lot busier then any other month of the year and this is not just for the USA. The only thing that's busy for the USA is Thanksgiving. December is not a holiday month just for the USA. It's world wide.

So yes, it can be a rather busy time and the longer the book, the less chance it will get read. The last time we took a family vacation we went in December to spend the holidays with family in Scotland.

Now if you have visitors coming, they will most likely be there before the 20th and you'll not be spending as much time reading.
