Working on Christmas Eve...

We shut down around noon but this year I decided to just take the day off altogether. We do our family Christmas on the 24th so this way I get to sleep in, get everything ready at a nice, leisurely pace and then head to my parents in a calm, cool and collected frame of mind instead of being a frazzled mess!

while i am not working tomorrow (i only work monday, wednesday and friday) the office that i work at is closing at noon tomorrow and we are shut down for the week between christmas and new years.

Nope, I'm a home body. I will be doing stuff on Christmas Eve like picking up food and stuff like that.

Hello my friend Bethany1202 Ji, Well, as a retiree's house wife I have no such issues and my ll days are holi-days and Sundays. May God bless You and have a great time.

I worked yesterday until 2:30. The place I contract for was closed but the company that I contract with wasn't so if I wanted to get paid, I had to come in. It was kinda weird to be in the building that only had the security guard and few stray workers. Merry Christmas

I work at Christmas eve and Christmas day. I have to work because I rather make some money for my saving actually. Even though I spend the Christmas eve and Christmas day off at home, I won't do much fun though, so, I rather go to work, and make some extra money though.

I work in a store and we are open tonite but I got it off. I celebrate with the family on Christmas eve and spend the nite at my daughters and we all have breakfast in the morning and watch the little ones open their gifts. Then I am going in to work until 10pm.

On vacation and I like it that way. :-)

The only place i am working is at home & the pay is not worth a hoot, lol. Glad u are getting off early today. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Hi Bethany1202!I work in an office and I do night shifts, from 4:00pm - 12:00am but today we'll get off early at 9:00pm for the holidays. I'm very happy I'll be getting off early today! yay! Happy mylotting and Happy Holidays!

Hi Bethany: I am working on a cyber-cafe so i have to be there until 9pm, then I will enjoy with my family the Christmas Eve, it's a little bit annoying but it's my job and i enjoy doing what i do, and i value my job and my boss and of course i know it's important for me to do it. I will not feel sad because i will be at time to enjoy the celebration. Thanks for asking me this question. At least i am not the only one. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take care. -Alvaro.

Hi, there! My girlfriend is working at the moment in a supermarket and i am very angry about that, because the people must be together and celebrate on Christmas and Christmas eve, and she must work. I just can't make out, how there is such stup.... people, who are forced their subordinates to work on important holidays like Christmas. I hate those people

In China there's no formal holiday for Christmas, so we have to work till 31st then have New Year's holidays. Merry X'mas all of the mylotters!

I am working in a hospital. And knowing about it, hospitals never close. Unless if there are other significant reasons to do so. Anyways, the good thing about it, I was given a day off for Christmas. I am thankful my supervisor gave me this schedule. I might have been sad if the opposite happened. Though I'm not saying i hate being with my patient. But never had experienced doing it.

people here in quebec work christmas eve some may get off a bit earlier but retailers don't because there are always last minute shoppers. But the day after christmas is boxing day, and that is the day for specials, people in offices and places like that get the day off.

I don't have my job anymore, but George still does. We used to both work at Pizza hut, and he still does. Pizza hut is open until 8 on Christmas Eve (when they normally close at midnight) And, yes George will be working. He doesn't want to, but if we want to eat we have to. So I'm going to miss him but we get to spend Christmas day togeather (because Pizza hut is closed) which is a bonus for me.
