Tis the season for family gatherings, holiday cheer…and work? A survey from Xobni finds that nearly 70 percent of Americans will make some time between watching the Detroit Lions and eating turkey this Thursday to check their work email.

I wrote a similar story this time last year citing the 2010 Xobni survey results. The 2011 survey finds that checking work email while on break for the holidays is trending up in general. The number reporting that they will check email has risen from 60 to 68 percent, with more than one in four stating that they will be checking work email multiple times throughout the day.
