It&#x27;s that time again! 🎄 Who is working between Xmas and New Year? Because you need to? Want to?

I have to…. As it's not a holiday in my part of India. 😩

Yannick @mho22

I want to... I couldn't go on a week-long vacation without engaging in some coding. 😁

Arlie Rutherford @arlie_rutherford

@mho22 😂 But it's good that your code is robust! That's perfection and that' what you achieve in daily or repeated practice

To make extra money: Working between Christmas and New Year's can be a way to earn extra money or to pay off holiday expenses. Many people who work in retail or hospitality are paid time and a half or double time for working on holidays, which can significantly increase their earnings.

To enjoy the distraction: For some people, working between Christmas and New Year's is a way to avoid the stress of holiday shopping and visiting with family and friends. Working can provide a sense of routine and structure during a time of year that can be chaotic and overwhelming.

@amanda_silmon How about a “travel alone” experience ??

John Xie @johnxie

Taking time to recharge during the day but the midnight oil continues.

Slim Geransar @slimmy82

@johnxie wow night owl huh? Sometimes I like working at night!

Of course, there are also some drawbacks to working between Christmas and New Year's. For example, it can be difficult to spend time with family and friends, and it can be hard to stay motivated when everyone else is on vacation. Additionally, those who work in retail or hospitality may be exposed to long hours, difficult customers, and a high-pressure work environment.

@brandon_linn Definitely. Also, a great salute and a huge bow to the people who work even during Christmas and New year. Like our responsible doctors, nurse, police, army ...

Slim Geransar @slimmy82

@brandon_linn definitely important to have some family time where possible. Time can never be reclaimed. Spend it with family were possible

To meet deadlines: Some businesses have deadlines that they must meet before the new year, such as taxes or year-end financial reports. This can require employees to work overtime or on weekends to get the work done.

Maria Anosova 🔥 @maria_anosova

Yes, I want to.

@maria_anosova Is it a personal decision or work demand?

Ling Tien @ling_tien

I am not planning it

@sania_mary Good! that's nice. Does it also mean, you have the doors open, so you are open to work, if the need arises?

ChatofAI @chatofai

I love my work so I want to. 🦉

@chatofai ! Even on holidays and family times?

Tin Chung @chungquantin

We are launching the product through the Christmas 😁

PRIYANKA MANDAL @priyankamandal

I am working between Xmas and New Year. I got a product launch in January, so the hustle continues.

Jahanzaib Ara @jahanzaib_ara

Yes dear, I'll be working between Christmas and New Year.

@jahanzaib_ara The spirit... 🔥 Is it because the situation demands?

Jofra G @jofra_g

I'm taking some time off during the holidays to spend time with family. Wishing you a joyful festive season! 🎄

Sandra Djajic @sandradjajic

Taking time off, to spend it with family and friends, but will definitely work on some urgent matters in between :D

Felya Bilgen @felicitias

I need to, and I have to—for so many reasons, haha but it doesn't bother me.

@felicitias 🌋 You have to attend to your "NEEDS".... that's responsibility. Make sure to have fun too! 💃

Annie Chopra @annie_chopra

I definitely take a break during the main holidays but I like getting a little work in! My birthday is soon after Christmas so I can be very progress-oriented during the time lol
