To want DH to not take a job he'd love?

DH has been offered a job in a field he loves, he is currently working a 9-5 that he doesn't like...The new job is long, unsociable hours which I have dealt with him doing before so that's fine but I've just found out that he will be working xmas day. We have a 2 year old and will have a 4 week old baby. I've got myself so worked up about it he says he won't take the job but now I feel stupid/guilty for getting so upset about one day of the year (although it would be every year)! Pregnancy hormones probably playing a part but what should I/we do?!

Sorry, it's why I didn't want to offer advice earlier, but it was worrying to read you are already cutting your hours,

Thing is we managed just and as I said. Everyone is different.
I just think you both need to have good to look at your finances and how much Leigh way you have.
Lots of people make unconventional hours work, and are financially fine, and are happy. You both need to talk about it and plan accordingly.
