[Bill Hicks]

Found out yesterday that I have got to work on Christmas day.
So I'm wondering who else will be working over the Xmas weekend?

Bah humbug and all that.

I'm not thankfully but my stepdad is. It's always noticeable on the occasions he's not there. Mainly because we don't get through a load of Marstons pedigree until he gets home about 8pm lol. Thankfully I've got christmas eve and day off work. But I'm working boxing day, new years eve and new years day! no big night out for me this year!

I'm not working this year, this is the first time in 3 years where I haven't been rota on. Finish Christmas Eve morning, and not back until the Wednesday.

 

[sheriffwoody]

my mum and gf are both working xmas day, so we are all doing presents and "xmas day" on Boxing Day instead.

 

[Phil Hinton]

I did every Christmas and New Year for 10 straight years in my old job. I have to say I really enjoy Christmas these days because I can now enjoy it fully.
Stay safe to those who have to work this year, especially emergency services workers.

I've never worked anywhere that is open at Christmas. For a few years I could technically have been called if one of the automated systems failed, but it never happened. Certainly didn't stop me enjoying a few mulled wines

 

[Mr_Wistles]

Christmas Day will be my first day off this year so I certainly won't be working it!!

 

[imightbewrong]

Blimey - now I see how you bought the OH so much for Christmas

 

[mjn]

I'll be working from 8pm on Xmas eve until ~2.30am on Xmas day......and i'll certainly be half cut

Yep, first day off. Had less than 10 days off in the past five years.

Got to get the monies whilst they are there!!

 

[imightbewrong]

man that is pretty extreme! do you 'work' while on holidays? Christmas day is a Sunday this year, but you say it's your first day off...

 

[Naaktgeboren]

Tomorrow is my last day followed by 16 days off

 

[Geege]

I have three young kids so looking forward to it this year! I have to work Christmas eve 2300-0700 but have Christmas day off

Already been told no one is allowed time off/annual leave between 21st Dec 2012 - Jan 2013 Typical!

 

[Sparky83]

I'm on shift over Xmas, start my nights on the 22nd, so working xmas eve, Xmas day too. Then I'm off and come back just in time to work new years eve and new years day.... Fantastic!!!

Although luckily we get treble time, yay!

 

[Jean Valjean]

Christmas Eve & Day, Boxing Day (nights) Also New Years Day ( day )

 

[liveforav]

I'm on call over Christmas, but can usually fix most things remotely so no great shakes.. Getting paid while tucking into my Xmas dinner at home is nice

 

[DrPhil]

Night shift finishing Christmas Eve, Boxing Day morning from 8-1.

Shifts worked out ok this year, I'm also on night shifts into the 27th and the 2nd of January which will be double time due to the in lieu bank holidays. So I get double time without doing the crappy shift. Christmas eve shift will be standard time and a half, boxing day and the other bank holiday shifts double time.

The wife is working 6-12 on Christmas day, triple time.

 

[SuperG1]

I'm first on the security alarm call out but off 23rd to 3rd Jan..
