Working Xmas eve and Xmas, hopefully very chill

When I was on the ambulance, Christmas Eve was always a very busy day. All we could deduce was a lot of elderly people were getting lonely, so it was a way for them to not be alone on Christmas.

That’s an interesting point, I bet there are some studies to back it up. Days after Xmas always suck as family that hasn’t seen their older relatives in a long time come into town and immediately think there are massive medical emergencies. They are the absolute worst family members to ever deal with.

Constantine, the first Roman emperor to be Christian during his reign, had Rome begin celebrating Christmas on December 25th, and this was during the time period categorized as "ancient history".
He did this likely to be a direct replacement for the Pagan festival called Saturnalia (which had many elements of celebration that are still observed during Christmas nowadays).

Don't forget the Easter Bunny. A pagan symbol for fertility and resurrection.

If you do some research about Christmas etc. most scholars believe Jesus was born in September close to the fall solstice, which would mean that the 25th of December is pretty close to Jesus's conception and not his birth.

Spot on for Easter/Easter bunny. In fact, the word Easter never appears in the Bible, in its place is Passover which occurs on the same day every year, April 4th.

As you can tell, the winter is my slow time..... Carry on everyone

Boss sent me a teams chat an hour ago asking why I was still online.

 

[CycloneEggie]

My company makes every use all vacation by end of calendar year or lose it. Almost everone takes at least one week off before end of year. Often more then one week.

The transportation industry scoffs at holidays. I'm off Christmas (skeleton crew working), but here every other day. Hopefully, we can cut out early tomorrow if the disasters stop long enough.

I'm in the heavy duty truck industry, working at an OEM. Hope everyone keeps the wheels on the ground and between the lines!

Our plants shut down over the holidays, but the engineering centers stay open (except 24/25 and 31/1).

ETA I'm working from home, but I've been doing that nearly continuously since 2020. Once our building expansion is complete I anticipate having a desk again and the expectation to be in person at least 3 days per week.

 

[CascadeClone]

We are open every day but 25th and 1st, but we give all the employees the 4 days between off. The owners/partners cover those 4 days. Its slow this time of year, but the calls we get are "real" and sales don't slow down much. We do pay OT for one of the warehouse guys to come in and the accountant to get the books closed.

But yeah today - very busy!

Buddies that work for police/fire say Christmas Eve always sucks. Family disputes and other random craziness.

 

[CYdTracked]

I took this week and next week off. Very much looking forward to a half a month away from the office!

Passover and Easter don’t celebrate the same thing, which is why there are 2 different names.

 

[demoncore1031]

Trying to get in some Uber Eats and Doordash deliveries before work tonight, but the only deliveries coming in are crap so I'm declining them all so far.
