Have you got the right resourcing levels to manage the December/January period? A good guide is to look at the activity for the last year (or two). This will give you clear indicators as to the levels of activity you can expect and the resourcing required to handle it. The Overview by Day of Month will provide you with the information you need. Also available from the OnDemand Helpdesk is the new Monthly Inbound Call Overview.
