Too long, the new year period starting from late November,
  all the way to the Lunar New Year at mid February.

Let's count all the major shopping events between:
- 11.11: Double Eleven Sale
- 11.2*: Black Friday/Thanksgiving
- 12.12: Double Twelve Sale
- 12.25: Christmas
- 01.01: New Year
- 02.1*: Lunar New Year

Meanwhile, the day job often becomes more tangled and took longer,
  plus more seemingly-dire tasks queuing up.
When the day is near,
  the festival preparation may cost another big/small chunk of week.
Next, it's people busy reunion, party, eat&drink, and driving to the next stop.

And finally it's all settled down, if lucky, perhaps a few day left to recharge,
  then the usual work days goes on.
