    I'm working all next week except Xmas/Boxing Day. We're down to 1/3 capacity on the team that week although I think the stockmarkets will be quiet, and I'll probably be out of there by mid-afternoon each day when my NY colleagues are in. I've got 2 weeks off from 31st Dec so don't mind covering the Xmas period for the parents in the office. Haven't had a Christmas off in 20+ years.

  • I am working all over the holiday, including Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

    I am a professional house/pet sitter and am looking after a barn conversion and two dogs whilst their owner is away for the holiday.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I actually think more and more people would prefer to work and make a bit of money over the Holidays, last year on xmas Day, most Businesses on my main road were open, including McDonalds!! i had a peek in, and there was actually a queue inside!!
  • I'm off till January 7th :D

    Was only supposed to be working the Friday, but as the firm I work for realised they were 2 months behind with supplying customers, I will be in Monday as well.
