Hoping everyone had a great christmas! I too was working christmas day and the day after, but for me it truly sucked.. I work in a health care facility, so Christmas is crammed with demanding family members and lots of people calling in sick for work (convenient.. :p ), so I spent 3 pm to midnight on christmas day working two people's jobs (since they moved my partner to another unit to cover the lack of people showing up).
So without exaggerating I can say I literally cared for twice as many people as I'd normally have to do, by myself, and did not even get to take out the unpaid obligatory half hour break I'm supposed to have during my shift. Missed christmas dinner with family and all.
That was my workplace's christmas gift for those of us who spent christmas day at work. :p
At any rate I'm thinking about taking out my vacation time during the holidays next year, since it'll be the first christmas with our son or daughter and I don't want to miss it.
Fortunately we did get to celebrate some on Christmas eve.
