At the old firm, I would always volunteer to do call out on Christmas day.
My reasoning was that somebody had to do it, it didn't mean much to me (still doesn't) and as I wouldn't see my daughter until Boxing day it might as well be me, rather than someone who had a family.
And before you think I did it for the money, the money wasn't that great. The main reason was that if I did that day, I wouldn't have to do any other day over the holiday period, when I did have my daughter
Plus I'm a Bah Humbug kinda guy
