I had class last year during the holidays. You will have class on Thanksgiving Day. For Christmas, they will send you out with a relatively high priority (A3) which beats the other standbys. Going back after Christmas, you will be A1 so you will kick off a paying passenger if it's oversold. I'm just guessing but you will probably travel home on the 23rd and back to DFW on the 26th. For New Years, it will be the same situation. I never had any issues traveling to or from and never had to do the jumpseat.
