You betcha!! I have to work 2:30pm until Midnite on Christmas Eve, then I have to come in at 4:30am on Christmas!! It sucks, but it was the only way I could work things out so I could spend at least part of the Holiday with my family!!
Someone has to work the holidays.... I just hope people out there appreciate the people that work them.... Without people like us, the world would stop!
Hope you have a great holiday anyway!!

Yep every Christmas, police officer. Never fails that people end up fighting and going to jail because they didn't get the "right" present. SAD!!! The fun part is visiting the famalies of the kids that you helped throughout the year. That is the positive trade off to the negative ugly of having to work on Christmas.

No the only work I have to do on Christmas is cooking, cleaning up after dinner, cleaning up after the kids, and putting batteries in toys. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas working or not. God Bless.

NO but I did have to rearrange to get my work done. I don't have any other days off either. I'll feel sorry for you in ADVANCE ok? ( Man that's terrible so sorry ) Well things get hectic on christmas day so I didn't want to forget about poor you having to work , that really is too bad, Sincerely it really is. Maybe you will get next christmas off.
Happy New Year! You don't have to work that day too , do you?

Oh YES! I work on a computer helpdesk who are fortunate to service both US & UK and some parts of India.
What's crazy (& what happens every holiday) is that people call expecting us to send techs (who are at home observing the holiday) immediately. It gets very hard not to yell & have a Samuel L Jackson moment.

Yes, I do. I am a 911 dispatcher and I have to work on Christmas. It sucks but it is a living and has to be done.

What's horrible about it?
I'm working Xmas and New Year this year (should only have to do one but we're short staffed).
And I have no problems with it at all, my family & girlfriend are several hundred miles away, I can't be with them, so I might as well be at work.
