I don't work Christmas Eve, it's my favourite day ever! All the prep and going to church for carols and a sneaky trip to the pub after.
A couple of years ago I had a call from someone asking if I could do 5 sets of nails before Christmas and the only day I had left was Christmas Eve so I did it, we couldn't turn the money away! That was a one off!
This year is very tricky, as baby is due on the 19th December. I'm still booking the week before Christmas as if baby is late I will be furious that I've missed my Christmas trade! All the clients booking are my lovely loyal ones who all know that I may have to let them down at the last minute if I go into labour. Some will book elsewhere just in case, but that's fine, they've been given the choice!
So I don't really know what hours I will be working over Christmas until it happens! But I'm not working January :0)
