Unfortunately I have to work right up until Christmas Eve this year. Even though lots of my colleagues have now started their holidays, us in finance are still hard at it, crunching the numbers in readiness for year end!! Its hard to be at work when the kids have broken up from school, I have three very excited young ones at home!! Is everyone one else still hard at it or have you finished for the year? It would keep me sane to know others are in the same boat as me!!

My main schedule at work I'm off, but I'm picking up some odd hours here and there because we need the money! I guess I'm just thankful to have a job!

I work as a stock clerk at a grocery store in the US. My last day before the holiday is tomorrow. I return to work Saturday. I think Wednesday is corporates last day before the holiday, so we should be paid earlier.

I do not work outside of home for now, but hubby is still hard at work until Christmas eve. He does merchandising within a large retail store, so he gets to experience all the shopping crazies.

When your time comes to be at home, do enjoy it to the max. Plenty of people have to work on Xmas days: doctors, nurses, police men, plus tons more.
