Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Well, most of the people in the studio take a little break. Go hang out with the families, ect. But Bungie started working on another game before Halo 3 even finished (although we don't know how much they actually got done, it might have just been theorizing). So there are some people who probably didn't get as long of a break as others. Also, thanks to the way games need to be made, some people can take time off while others need to work. For example, the concept artists and story writers need to be working on a project early on, but maybe the AI designers don't have much to do at the begining.
I think that's changed though, to be honest. With the invention of DLC, many people who might not have anything to do otherwise now have to keep going and making more things. Also, while some jobs don't need to be done now, the people who do them probably have other things to do.
So... to put it simply, they take a bit of time off, then it's business as usual.
