How many of you are stuck working through x-mas

When I was going to college back in the 1970s, I held a full-time evening shift job in a N.Y. state nut house. It was years before I gained the seniority to get Christmas off. We always had a skeleton crew to give as many people off as possible.

It was quite lonely thinking of friends and family having fun while I was working there on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. That was until we assembled a crew over the years and we brought the party with us...Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker, etc.
