So who has to work all over christmas then? :(

Casualcontrol1

I'm feeling slightly sorry for myself this evening and looking for others to feel sorry with! I'm working all over christmas so miss out on practically all nights out with my mates! I know I'm lucky I have a job but it still sucks. Anyone else on the same boat?

Hi Santy!

I've been a good boy this year, can I have a Playstation 4?

Don Kedick

Santa.

bjork

You are not alone
I am here with you
though you're far way
We must work that day

Turtyturd

Not me.

Working Christmas in a foreign land where the only Christmas lights you'll see are on the road works

AnimalChin

Working this year so thankful for that. I have a few days off too though. Working from home a bit also. Could be a lot worse!

Don Kedick

Did you hear about the Donegal man in Saudi Arabia?

Banjo String

You know what I'd do in your position op?

Party like fcuk when my shifts had all finished, and I'm off for a week or whatever , and they have the post Christmas blues and are most probably skint too.

Nothing makes post party blues worse than watching some other smarmy git still having the funds, and the stomach to party and not have to get up the next morning for work!

KeithM89

Off for 3 weeks with full pay, so no, not me.

Albertofrog

This is my second Xmas off in 14 years.

My sincere sympathies. I always feel sorry for people working over Christmas.
I'm retired so don't work at all.

I'm taking Christmas Day off because I'm the boss.

Off Christmas day and Stephens day, back in the rest. No kids so it doesn't bother me too much.
In my last job I used to volunteer for Christmas Day not because I don't like it, I fecking love it, but I rathered those who had kids be there to see them on Christmas morning opening their presents. Oh and the triple pay was gooood paid for Christmas and a holiday afterwards when everyone else was broke
