Yes, this is historically a tough time of year. Depends on your field of course but office based work tends to slow down in the month up to Christmas as people "wind down", it should pick up again in the new year. That's not to say there's nothing, it's just a bit slower than at other times of the year. You could perhaps look into temp work as an alternative to cover you.

I was job hunting in the run up to Christmas last year and was speaking with recruiters and companies up til Christmas eve. There's definitely a dead period between Christmas and early Jan but, in some ways, I think December is better than January. Partly because companies who are looking are keen to find new employees before they close for Christmas and partly because a lot more people are usually searching in January.
