I'm not going to do the math but I did bid review for Dec. One of our bases apparently hates Christmas because anyone that wanted it off got it off. At least for line holders, the theory was that most people probably didn't think they could hold it so they didn't bid for it.
Edit: 66%

PSA -
CLT FO's. 248 total eligible FO's, the junior line holder is #193. Every line holder was eligible to drop Christmas with the SAP. So, simple math would indicate that the top 77.8% either have, or were eligible to have Christmas off.
The junior line holder in CLT actually has a pretty good schedule with 11 days off in a row over Christmas, and a total of 17 days off.
Without the SAP, it would not be nearly this good.

33% can hold it off by seniority. 33% run into legality and work some or part, but end on Christmas or are required to be off. 33% work solid. 1% will have a random pairing ending super early and being off and home. For the last 10 years, the math has worked true, and in Pbs for Dec 2016 at my carrier, it still remains true overall.
On any given day, 60% of the workforce is working. Holidays get interesting, but overall, that's what it takes and it normally lines up with min days off for a ratio. Some are at min days, some pickup, then vacations, training, leaves, etc. 2/3 of the group will always need to work for things to work.
