    What if the staff don't want all that time off but are forced to take it? That's a lot of annual leave or unpaid time off. What if you don't celebrate Christmas?

    Not everyone wants all the days off that people here are insisting that they should be getting.

    Come on who doesn't want time off at Christmas. I have two weeks off every year at Christmas and it's not enough.

    Maybe people who are paid by the hour.

    Personally speaking I'd rather time off in the summer.

    I have that too (well I've lots of annual leave and can take it when I want) but if I had to choose I'd much prefer time off at Christmas as all my friends and family are also off so much nicer and easier to spend time with people. I also love Christmas.

    Planned on hitting Galway today. Purely because the weather is nice. Woke up this morning and decided "nah, there's nothing I want" and went back to sleep. I hate shops. I prefer pubs, but they are not an option as I'm driving.

    Get a different job so. Why should a business open where it won't have much business.

    It seems retail staff can't win. They have to work, they should get a different job. They have to take time off, they should get a different job.

    If they won't have much business during the post Christmas sales then they might as well shut up shop altogether, never mind just for the week.

    You are aware that not everyone celebrates Christmas aren't you?

    I would love to have had the will power to get of my arse and go shopping early this morning. Too wrecked though.

    Need a few pairs of jeans and other bits and bobs. But could not be going out when the crowds arrive. Just not worth it.

    As much as I love Christmas Eve and Christmas day, I can't stand the rest of it. It goes on far too long and I crave a bit of normality.

    In terms of people who have to work Stephens day, some mind it, some don't. The whole build up to it is stressful, and being in the house for days on end would bore the arse off you. I for one am grateful that some places are open on Stephens day and days that follow.

    There I said it. I like the shops being open. Saying that around here you might as well have kicked a puppy in the face. But I'm not taking it back :mad:
