I like the seniority idea. Dh has worked all night shifts at the holidays at a couple of the plants he's worked at. He says it's only fair that he pull a holiday shift now and then just like the rest of the people he works with. We adjust our activity schedule accordingly. Do you really <I>have</I> to open presents on Christmas day? The night before is just as nice. I can see a big gathering would be more difficult to rearrange, but I bet if people were will to look at things again, they might realize that many things are flexible.JuliaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668995954240697998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-68531619895969282812008-12-18T14:11:00.000-05:002008-12-18T14:11:00.000-05:00My husband & I both work in a hospital and the...My husband & I both work in a hospital and the night of Christmas Eve is always the shift that is difficult to get covered. In the beginning, I would always work it thinking of the people who did have children. These past few years Hubby & I have both worked it thinking ~next~ Christmas we'll have a baby and it will be our turn. And here it is - Christmas 2008 and we're working again.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11509124764568535676noreply@blogger.com
