I work the 24th until 6pm, then have Christmas Day off, but start again on Boxing Day at 8am. I work in film/TV. This is the busiest time of the year for us.

AnnaQuayInTheUk · 17/12/2025 17:43

I'm taking Christmas Eve off as we're travelling to family (5 hours away). I'm working through between Christmas and New Year.

TokyoSushi · 17/12/2025 17:45

Lunchtime Tuesday 23rd but I'm full time WFH and it’s very quiet now…

RandomUsernameHere · 17/12/2025 17:46

24th. I’ve only got the bank holidays off.

ImWearingPantaloons · 17/12/2025 17:51

Christmas Eve, but it’s retail sooooo……🤷‍♀️

SunnieShine · 17/12/2025 17:52

Christmas Eve, but wfh so not bad.

PancakePatty · 17/12/2025 17:58

I’m a livestock farmer so don’t get any days off. Minimal working on Christmas Day and Boxing Day as long as there are no disasters. Hopefully 2-3 hours each morning then a quick check round at 5pm.
We have family and friends coming for lunch on Christmas Day & Boxing Day so it will be early start for us.
Looking forward to it. Merry Christmas everyone.

Working 24th night shift. Will finish at 7:30 Christmas morning. I am going to get my free breakfast at the canteen and buy some for the family. Bring it home and have breakfast with a bucks fizz, open presents and then have a few hours sleep before getting up to finish off Christmas dinner. My DH will get it started.

EarthAndInstinct · 17/12/2025 18:06

23rd. Can’t fucking wait. I work in the construction industry. Absolutely nothing going on operationally. I just want 2 weeks off now.

Echobelly · 17/12/2025 18:08

Christmas eve, but I have the working days of the New Year week off. I don't celebrate Christmas so I always tell work that if they need to move anyone's Christmas dates (as we do have to ensure some cover) to do mine first. They asked me to move a few days around last year but not this time.

BrieAndChilli · 17/12/2025 18:31

Friday but thats because I booked next week off - everyone did so company is effectively closed. I am working the 29/30/31 then off new years day and the friday that week. Will be really quiet so wont be too onerous!

EleanorReally · 17/12/2025 18:31

23rd

PumpkinPie2016 · 17/12/2025 18:39

Fri 19th and then not back until 5th Jan.

I will have to do some work over the holidays but at least I can do it when I want.

It's been a brutal term in school so I'm looking forward to some down time and being able to breathe again.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 17/12/2025 18:41

I’m working straight through. Christmas Day at 4pm, sleeping at work, working Boxing Day until 10pm.

TwinklyTraybake · 17/12/2025 18:42

Els1e · 17/12/2025 18:42

Tomorrow! Finishing on 18th back in (wfh ) on 29th. Most people are off so it will be very quiet, finish at lunchtime on 31st and back in again on 6th.

JudgeBread · 17/12/2025 18:45

Not at all this year, emergency services ✌️

But I don't mind, we'll have a nice day Christmas day, we'll cook a Christmas dinner between us and play some games, watch a few festive movies, do a quiz, bingo. We keep the festive spirit alive!
