Who here is working over Christmas?

I'm off Christmas Eve, Christmas and Boxing Day (day after Christmas). I work New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and the day after New Year's.

Because we have to work one or the other and I'm off this Christmas, next year I'll be working Christmas.

I don't mind. I actually tried to switch so that I could also work Christmas this year because I really need the money, but everyone had already made their switches by the time I got back on the payroll.

i'll be working christmas eve, christmas day, new years eve, and new years day. Emergency Veterinary world is just like human hospitals....we never close. lol. I do work the overnights which are 10 pm - 8:30am so I can sacrifice some sleep time to spend some time to open presents with my husband. Then I'll head down to south jersey sometime between christmas and new years to see family. I love the holidays but the last 2 just havent felt the same. Hopefully once I get the holidays off it'll be enjoying them again. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!

I work Christmas Eve noon to midnight and off Christmas day. We could probably leave early Christmas Eve but since I have used up all my paid time off for the year, required to keep from losing it, it would be without pay. I will be staying until midnight because I can't afford unpaid time.

Since I don't celebrate christmas, I usually volunteer to do anything other people need done. Last year, we had a trial starting at the beginning of the new year, so I was doing trial prep work 7 days a week all of december, including christmas.

That's very nice of you to do that.

I used to work in a law office and the lawyers and other staff who are Jewish used to take their Jewish holidays off, plus all of the Christian ones too! However, those of us who are not Jewish were only entitled to the Christian ones. I never could work out the fairness in that.

We get 10 paid holidays, all secular but christmas I believe. We can't swap them with other religious holidays. We have to use our paid time off (vacation/sick leave) for that. Maybe they had to use vacation time for their holidays?

My husband will be working on Christmas this year He does not have to be there until 1, but will be working until about 9:30 or 10 or so. He is a waiter, so he will get good tips, so that is good. He has off Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, so we will have those times and Christmas morning together. I don't like that he has to work then, but we need the money because he has all week off from his other job (he has 2 jobs), so he is picking up more shifts at the restaurant to make up for it. Gotta make money some how!

I tried to work, I wanted to because it would have been double time. That idea was shot down because they closed the facility for the holiday. This is my least favorite of the holidays. No particular reason, I've never been much of Christmas person. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

I do. I but its only from 2 - 4:30 so its not bad. Its just that one christmas dinner is at 2 and another is at 4... so I'm kinda screwed on that part

I will be working Christmas Eve and New Years 8:30-2:30.. I normally get off at 5. Christmas and New Years Day I am off

I'll be working Christmas Eve playing the organ for two church services at 6:30 and 11:00. In between I play Christmas carols at one of the local resorts for two hours. I was actually scheduled to work a 12-hour night shift at the hospital but was able to trade with someone else. I will be working Christmas night 7pm-7am.

There's not enough time to get to where any of my family are for Christmas Day so I'll probably just spend the time playing with my kitties. Oh, and I have to get some sleep before I go to work, too. It should be a nice relaxing day.

Normally I work in a hospital in inpatient, so I have to work every other holiday. Luckily I'm in between jobs at the moment, so I don't have to work either. My brother in law does the same thing as I do, and he has to work a 12 hour shift on Christmas day this year.

I have Christmas Eve off and we're closed on Christmas.

I work on Christmas, but it's not a big deal because my family isn't getting together and I don't have any kids. I traded with a lady who has two young children. I work till 9pm on New Years eve, but that's not biggie either, we hardly celebrate.

I will work Christmas eve from 8am to 6pm, get Christmas off. I will then work New Years eve for the same hours and get New Years day off. I did tell my boss I can work both days but they got other peeps to cover that shift.

I will be working on President days, and that day will get double time which is what I want. I have bills that need to be PAID! lol

I work Christmas, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, and New years day 7pm-7am. This year just doesn't feel like Christmas to me *sigh*.

I have Christmas Eve and New Years Eve off because Wednesday is my regular day off. The O.R. is closed on Christmas Day and New Years Day, so those are both paid holidays. I'm on call Saturday and Sunday (12/27 & 28) and also on New Year's day. I usually work when I'm on call. No rest for the weary.

Im working Christmas, an 8hr shift and the rest of the week. And I'll be working New Years Eve and New Years day. Actually I dont remember how long those shifts are, probably 8hrs too. Im a customer service rep. (call center for LL Bean) It's just a seasonal position so Im working as much as possible.

My store is shut Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day & 2nd Jan which is unsual for a chain but awesome for me!

I only work part time so over the last two weeks from last Sunday, I'm only working two shifts One of which is tomorrow night 6pm-midnight.
