If you do, tell us what you do for a living where you gotta work on such a huge holiday!

I work in HVAC, our service department is open 24/7/365. We have a guy at our company that doesn't celebrate Christmas so he volunteers to work it every year (he say's the tips he gets are unreal!). I am SO thankful that he works Christmas I buy him a gift-card for booze every year!

I haven't got my schedule for that week but from the looks of it I'm off. I work private security and we have contracts that include working holidays. The site I supervise is one of the contracts but it looks like Christmas eve falls on my day off I hope. But we have other sites I could get assigned to or called in.
