I do not have to work on Thanksgiving this year or the following Friday, but I remember the days that I worked Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. That was when I was in college and working in a restaurant.
The one year I made $1000 in two days waiting tables on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I think the customers felt bad for me, like I didn't have anywhere else to go.

This will be the first time since my DH and I were married that he will have to work not only Thanksgiving, but Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. His new job is a rotating two days on, two days off schedule, so that is why he is scheduled to work the holiday. I am bummed, but at least he will home during the day, albeit asleep. We will just have to have our holidays after the dates. I also try to keep in mind the reasons for the holidays, and that helps. We will find time to celebrate regardless of our schedules.

I am not as bummed as I originally was, I am just happy to have a job. Plus I wont be using any vacation time so I can save my days for another time.
