Monday is the official holiday for New York City and State government (Christmas falls on a Sunday and peeps have to have that holiday day, *LOL*), and many private offices/business (outside of retail/service, hospitals, etc....) are closed as well. As such traffic should be lighter than a normal Monday. However much might depend on where you are going in the City and what time.
In general traffic is lighter than normal the week between Christmas and New Years in Manhattan. Many take those days off for an extended vacation so you have less people working/coming into the City.
If you are coming in for shopping, to see a show or something, then there you may have company. Ditto for any of the high volume tourist areas such as Times Square.
