To ask if your dp works Xmas day...

[Ahardmanisgoodtofind]

I know I abu for bringing up the festive season so bloody early. BUT
What do you do? Dp will be working again this Christmas eve and day.he's a chef so works every mothers/fathers/Easter and now Christmas day. Last year we opened presents in morning (rather rushed and stressful) and I had knocked up Christmas dinner for when he got in (also rushed and stressful). This year ds has more understanding of when Santa visits and how advent counts down and we have dd who will be around 5months (so I'm unlikely to be cooking with those two driving me batty around). My parents are also working,so can't go there either. Do I move Xmas and hope ds doesn't notice?

Sorry posted to early. Sometimes we have boxing day as the main celebration so I don't see why not. There's not really a rule about it

I work Christmas day too.
It's rubbish.

I love my job but it pisses me off that one day of the year that I am serving strangers, possibly abusive strangers, when I should be home with my baby's and husband.
But it's in my contract, so I get on with it.

This is what I don't get. Just have your Xmas on a different day when you are all at home.

We do, it's just another working day to me, to my kids though, it's Christmas day without mum.

My dad was a junior GP when I was a child and was always on call at Christmas. We got used to him having to disappear half way through present opening/meals/the family film. I'm not sad about it and I don't remember being upset at the time. I'm sure my dad hated missing those special moments though.
