Because I have to sleep early for it can't properly enjoy knowing I have to wash dry sort my uniform go to the garage Christmas day to get my meal for the next day
Can't you sort that all and get your meal sorted before Christmas day?

Can you not do it on Christmas Eve? Or after the previous shift? Your employer should have given you more sets of uniform, unless you only work one day a week
 
I hate that I can't enjoy Christmas day because I'm working boxing day. Why should shops be open boxing day they really shouldn't it feels wrong to rinse people of money just after Christmas because they need a towel set that has a reindeer on it reduced to 50p
I've only got Christmas day off over the whole holidays too

Only 1 set of clothes a year
You should have at least 2 tops and a pair of trousers? So just wash it all in advance and rewear the trousers! But if you do only have one top then you shouldn’t be doing a shift right before anyway so just wash it the last day you work before Christmas or ask your employer for more, they legally have to provide you with enough uniform for the shifts you work so they can’t give you 1 top for 5 shifts a week

Everyone has different circumstances though. Some people may be working Christmas and boxing day is the only chance they have to shop. Some people may be on tight budgets and need to shop sales for gifts next year. You still have the whole of Christmas day off so try to enjoy it.

So do I but I don't live in the UK so I can't :eek:
When I worked in residential care supporting men with learning disabilities, autism and challenging behaviour we worked 24/7 365 days a year on a rota and no one whinged about it. Neither do the essential services that keep the world turning so I think that anyone enjoying a lovely Christmas day with their family should be grateful for everything that they have.

I assume this was meant for my post before the yule log 😆
Yeh the last 6 years I've either had to book the day off using a holiday day or work Christmas day. When it was finally not going to fall on my day in work my shifts got changed meaning it then did fall on my day in work again for 3 years 😭 The two years before that I worked one Christmas day and had one off, so in 8 years I've had one Christmas day off where I didn't have to use a holiday to have it off
