Vent if you need to!!! We're here for you!

I dont know where you work, but maybe they have something planned for lunch, like a nice carry in or something? Something to make working Christmas day worthwhile?

My company is like that too: if two people request off the same day, the seniority wins. Sometimes it's ok, but sometimes, it's not. Like, if I my job is easily covered, then I should get it off, but if the other person's job can't be covered, they should have to work it.
