I wouldn't recommend coming during that time for all the reasons already listed, If you can come and leave right up to Xmas, that's a good time, I've been lucky and snagged a few non-pros who have regular jobs and only occasionally "work", and many regulars are looking to earn Xmas gift and travel to meet relatives money.
After Jan 2 is also not bad, festivities are over and there's bills to pay. I lived in CR for 2 years and luckily had regulars to count on but when I went downtown during that time it was dead.
It won't be completely dead but your selection will be very limited and the best looking top money makers will be enjoying the time off, you'll be looking at a small scattering of 2nd stringers...
It might be worth calling Zona II and Scores to see if they have anyone willing to come in by appointment during that time...
If you have no choice at this time, I'm betting Jaco may very well be a better choice than the gulch, the weather is warmer at least. I don't have any reason to suggest this, it's just a hunch but worth investigating if you find yourself standing in the HDR lobby on a Friday night and there's 6 fat ones, old ones, and ugly ones eying you up and down....
