It will benefit you because it is a good balance of healing mental burnout without putting you too far back in training. If you choose to take three off, you need to have some rigorous cross training in order to feel refreshed (though a little weak), and not dead when you start again. Only take 2 weeks off.

Although, having said this, three weeks sounds like a long time. A better alternative would be to ease up on the distance and go slower. you might also want to consider taking a certain day off every week (i always take sundays off while tapering). Doing these things will not only keep you in shape over the holidays but will also make sure that you are well rested and limber when you start your normal training again. Hope it helps!
