Im nightshift 24th, 25th and 26th so looks like Christmas will be pretty uneventful for me this year. Anyone else in the same boat?

I will be working it this yr again . 2 shifts over holidays pays for a nice fortnight in the sun in the summer. Xmas dinner 1 day late is a good price to pay

Big thank you to all public sector emergency staff (doctors, police, nurses etc etc) keeping us safe

Not sure about retail staff, they'll also have to deal with wild members of the public

Every year for the last five years I have always had the 27th, 28th and the 29th off. This year I'm having to work the 27th and the 28th but then I'll have five days off so can't complain too much

I'd love to be working Xmas day or Boxing day. Triple time for going in sitting on my ass for a couple of hours watching telly then going home. Shame only 3 people get to do it out of a work force of 120

That sounds fantastic. I have always had to work Xmas or New year for over 30yrs now. Having both off would be heaven to me

We both have early shift on Christmas day and Boxing day.

We dont mind, we work in care and the people we care for need that special attention. We are very happy to give it.... thats what its all about.
