I'm only guaranteed to have the 25th and 26th off. They usually try to not have part-timers working both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve but doesn't always work out. Will definitely be working the 1st and hopefully I get the 31st instead of Christmas Eve, total nightmare.

My paperwork for the government takes up precious little of my time so I'm not needed at work again until next month for a few hours. Then it's another month until I'm in again. So it's a one afternoon on, thirty days off kinda deal!

Plus I'm getting double eh.... pay this Christmas. Thanks goodness they didn't take it away in the recession.

We only get the 25th and 26th off, but I'm taking the two days before that as holiday time, so I'm off on the 23rd and back to work on the 29th.

Could be working on the 24th, depending on how things go on Monday.

Don't really mind though.
