[mamichuli]

My OH has to work - he's on nights so will sleep the days away
He is working Christmas Eve, Christmas day, Boxing day, New year's Eve and every holiday in the forseeable future

Maybe that is why i just cannot find my Christmas spirit...I have looked everywhere!

Are you busier this time of year?

This is the FIRST year in my working life (12 years) I haven't had to work over the Xmas/new year period and neither has my DH. We are really going to make the most of the week off.

 

[indie78]

im working xmas eve, 29th and 30th
cant complain, first year as a qualified nurse i worked 13 hour shifts on christams eve, christmas day and boxing day- that was evil!

 

[poppy160]

I only have a 5 hour shift on xmas eve, 12-5, then I'm off for a while, not sure how long though.

My DH works for Next he has to work 9.30-6.30 xmas eve, he has xmas day and boxing day off then he is back the 27th 11-8 for the sale.

He hates only having 2 days off at xmas he loves being at home with the kids and it goes way to quick. We are quite pleased this year tho as he usually has o work untill 9pm on xmas eve to get all the sale stuff ready for the 27th but he's not this year.

Yip! Not so much the routine stuff, but you'd be amazed at the number of people who look out their windows, say "Oh it looks REALLY icy out there!" and then proceed to walk to the shop, fall on the ice and break ankle/wrist/leg/collar bone/skull!

And the number of people who pop their cloggs during their christmas dinner is scary!

Allans last day is Dec 22nd and doesnt go back until 2nd Jan, i dont work at the moment so we are off to spend xmas in Spain for 5 days, after that we will drive my car back to Holland where we will stop off in Paris on the way for my birthday on the 28th (OH wanted it to be a surprise but he couldnt help himself by telling me!) I worked for NEXT at Head Office, for nearly 10 years and always worked over xmas (New Years Day, 12 hour shifts and all sorts) so i deserve a break (says she who has worked for a total of 9 months in the last 3 years! lol)
