Can't stand the sales and there's so much cr*p on TV that I opted to work over the festive period for the following reasons:
1. It tends to be very, very quiet so we can amuse ourselves (i've been doing next years planting plan)
2. The company arranges for our Xmas lunch to be brought in, and it's very nice.
3. I get special payments for working Xmas day, Boxing day etc so it's easy money.
4. No stress, no washing up, no arguments over who's doing what, lots of choccies.
