You miserable bunch of c***s.
Working on Christmas day when most of the rest of the population is relaxing and having fun is rubbish. End of story.
It is something you have to put up with in this business, it doesn't mean you have to like it.
Oh and before anyone starts with the "be thankful you've got a job" rubbish again. I'll chuck in my own comment.
You should be thankful you can be made redundant. I've spent the last year getting pumped full of chemo. I'd swap that for redundancy any day of the week.
(No offense to those who have lost their jobs, my comments aren't aimed at you, but the doom and gloom merchants on this thread.)
