Whos working over the holiday period?

My work closes on bank holidays. The rest are working days and you would need to use your personal holidays. I am working 24th then not till 31st and then start against on 2nd.

I'm working everyday of the christmas and new year week, except xmas eve when I have the complete full day off!, although my 2 hour rounds per the AM/PM are really nothing compared to any 12 hour shift and longer being worked so my respects to anyone having to do this x

It doesn't feel much like christmas for me, but hopefully it will soon, I hope I'm not turning scrooge like!

Thank you! to all the emergency workers/carers etc who keep everything going for the rest of us! :A

I'm self employed, and I have a massive backlog (I guess that's a good thing though!) so I will be pushing really hard over the weekend to get as much done as possible. If I get everything done, I'll give myself a couple of days off. If I don't, I'll have to keep working.

No new work will be coming in until the new year, so really it's all down to me whether I get time off or not. I've just recovered from the winter vomiting bug and I'm still feeling pretty drained so I'm just not that motivated right now.

would normally have xmas day/boxing day/new years day off but due to hubby being in afgan and having no children I have volunteered to work in the GP OOH service xmas eve night and new years day so that others can have it off.

I'm a care worker and will be working this afternoon, then Boxing Day and each day into the New Year. I work with great people though so it's not such a hardship.
Happy Christmas to all.

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.

Doesn't sound much like work to me!

I'm off from 2:30pm Xmas eve and going back on the 3rd of Jan. I usually work all working days over Christmas so those that have children can take the time off. This year, there's enough staff do me to have it off too! Hurray!
