I plan to go to work like it’s any other day, including not getting any holiday pay. I will try not to roll my eyes as customers tell me it sucks I have to work, even while they themselves are the reason I have to work.
Was in retail for 24 years. Holidays aren’t nearly as fun for those keeping things going.
However, I did learn a lesson about gas stations (at least the brand I was going to) where I had forgotten to get gas prior to Christmas and had to travel to see family that day. I stopped at the gas station, the pumps weren’t accepting cards and I had to go in. I apologized to the attendant and she said, “don’t apologize. I’m getting triple time and this one day will pay for all of Christmas for my kids.” She was happy as hell to be getting paid what she felt she was worth and it was a quiet day for her.
Not worth it for me personally, and a lot of us I’m sure, but not everyone hates it.
Yeah and don’t forget that some people (although not necessarily a ton in the western world) don’t celebrate Christmas either. It was interesting to me because I met a young person the other day born in the US but to immigrant parents. Despite being born and raised in the US, he (and his family) don’t celebrate Christmas or anything.
In line with yours, I remember always being happy to work certain holidays like new years or memorial day or whatever because they aren’t holidays to me and I would get extra pay for being there.
Damn dude, I seriously hope things get better for you. :(
My guess, supermarket?
Hotel.
Yeah that makes more sense
Going to a nursing home to visit my grandmother today, then preparing some of the dinner for tomorrow. Tomorrow doing the whole Santa gifts routine, preparing the dinner and moving furniture around to prepare for guests. Have dinner, have some fun with the guests, then relax the rest of the day and watch TV.
A quiet evening with my wife. We’re making a Sichuan-style hot pot.
Today we’re not doing anything, and it will be glorious. Tomorrow we’re exchanging gifts (my wife, the dog*, and I) cooking up a ham with beans and asparagus, and watching Christmas movies.
*she didn’t get us anything, but we still love her
For me personally, I’m gonna stay up for Christmas Eve and watch NORAD Tracks Santa.
Always is a great pass time to watch Santa’s journey across the world, and is also a great tool to know his location and to know when he will arrive in your location/area. It’s one of the best things of the Christmas season for sure!
My wife and I pick a country each year and plan our Christmas Eve dinner to make of food from that country. This year we picked The Gambia so it is going to be domoda (peanut stew) and thiakry (millet couscous pudding).
Already did the family thing on Sunday and survived.
My partner and I will be celebrating with friends, they are also not Christmas and especially family Christmas fans. We are just going playing jack box, baldur’s gate and probably some board games. So I’m a bit excited for first Christmas day, but we will not do anything traditional Christmasy.
It’s for me one of the most stressful time’s of the year.
Wow I thought panthers were dangerous
They are basically big kitties, kitties are lovely. So panthers are also lovely but bigger. It’s just science
I had to drive to rural mexico, ‘we’ are making pazole and tamales.
Do some blow and shag underage hookers. I want to be a famous politician.

I will cook some Cornish game hens, asparagus with garlic, mashed potatoes with garlic, maybe bread rolls. Dessert will be eggnog and chocolate peppermint cookies.
