Christmas eve...served a few of my regular clients only.
Christmas day ...off
Boxing day...off

Old Years night...Stick to those regulars that have already booked, get home about 2.00 am.
New years day...Off (little time for all the air kissing and happy New year hand shakes from folk i never see the other 364 days of the year.)

Then back to normal.

I find it better to take the time off when It's as quiet rather than work it and then grumble afterwards about how poor a Xmas it was work wise.

Boxing day nothing special.

Think I would have done a lot better if I worked late into the night, but I would sooner stick needles in my eyes.

Out 12 till 2pm, 2 hours, did £50, no buses running in our part of the world, home match helps, decided not to bother for the 4:45 finish. Every man, woman and his dog with a licence are out for time an a 1/3rd Boxing day, good luck to them.
