CoS talks about this.  At the end of the book, the trio, Fred, George 
and Ginny got a compartment on the Hogwarts expressed and practiced 
magic:  "They made the most of the last few hours in which they were 
allowed to do magic before the holidays."  I didn't find anything 
about reminder slips, though.

So you're right.  The restriction must be real. Drat!
