Re: Christmas Traditions Of Your Own.

I cannot remember having Christmas day off while I was working...but like you Barrie...we split our shifts so that those who were on an early shift went off at 2pm and those on a late shift came in just before 2 pm.
Christmas day at the hospital wasn't so bad for either the staff or the patients. most of those who stayed in Christmas day would have had no-one at home anyway......so they got warmth, company...a visit from Santa and a tot of something(if medically allowed).

Yes Less, you are right......retlaw did enjoy Christmas when his children were little(he would have been a strange kind of parent if he didn't enjoy seeing his children enjoying the festivities)....but the post still had a carmudgeonly tinge to it...or is it just me reading something that isn't there?
