No. If you are not getting any extra pay, then what's the point?
If I would work on Christmas Eve, then I had better be getting paid at least triple.(I'm making a point here)

Unless you want to risk your job I would. Lots of people work the holidays with no extra pay. I had to work once as a waitress on both Christmas Eve & day w/o extra pay. It ticked me off but as it turned out I was able to make someone else feel better by talking to them while they were far from home so it was worth it. In Huntington, W.V. there are a bunch of jews that volunteer their time to work in place of someone wanting Christmas off. Then there's a bunch of people in Ashland, Ky. from various religions or none at all that volunteer more than a full shift on Thanksgiving & Christmas to make sure no one has to eat alone and/or go hungry on those days. It's all in the attitude. No one likes to work on a holiday especially when there's nothing extra in it for them. But I'm a firm believer in nothing happens by chance good or bad. So I say the serenity prayer & accept it. It's not worth getting fired over & who knows you might find a miracle where you least expect it. But not if your heart is hardened in the anger & injustice.

If you want to, yes.
The money is handy.
Then, look for a job where they are decent enough to pay properly and when you have actually got the job, tell your old boss that you " were not totally enamoured with with the inadequate remuneration system whereby the management were in total ignorance of the basic needs of human beings.
Watch his face.

I would if I were depended upon or needed the quid. I have a mate working from 10pm until round 7AM Christmas AM--if his replacement shows up.
I will prolly travel down to keep him company because he will be completely alone after about midnight. Poor sod.
A Merrily joyous, barking mad, wickedly happy Christmas to everyone who celebrates, working Christmas even or not!

I suppose it depends on your job, and also if you have lots to do at home. I know if I had no kids or husband than I might think about it. But having said that Sunday is a day of rest!!
Whatever you do ENJOY and MERRY CHRISTMAS...

Yes, if you are scheduled to work it is part of your expectations to be at your place of work, of course you should.

if you need the money, yes. If you don't or want to do something else, yes. I guess it's better than being required to come in on chrstmas. Unless you were jewish
