Some of us have clients in countries where Christmas isn't celebrated so I could still get that call. In fact one such customer has just ordered a system and want it ASAP so having to work on that until at least early next week.

Working right through, no break for me this year, only taking christmas day off. First time I have worked through christmas period in probably 10 years. No point taking time off if I can't fly to see my family or go out anywhere. May as well sit at home and get paid. Will end the year at 232.5 days not bad considering I didn't work January.Comment

I like working Christmas and have missed it in years where I've not worked that period. It's usually nice and quiet and I can get lots done. I even used to work it when a permie.Comment

Clientco is sending us all (including the contractors such as myself) a Selfridges Christmas hamper next week!
But I've just had a horrible thought - Will I have to declare it as a benefit in kind?Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
