I don't think we're going to have that strangely "Quiet" Christmas Eve that we used to have years ago. When it just seemed everyone had said, "That's it .... Christmas tomorrow, lets kick it into touch" :thumbup

I imagine we'll be working like Dogs right up to (and probably over) our finishing times, with those last minute IMPORTANT parcels. Ho Ho Ho. (sorry another Elf dies) :cuppa
I think to a degree it's going to be down to if we're back in lockdown by Xmas, I believe that we're normally a couple of weeks behind Europe, I'm starting to wonder if we're going to end up back in lockdown by Xmas

I won't be working 1 minute over on Xmas Eve , if that means lots of failed mail and parcels so be it. If my Dom is that bothered he can go and deliver it all

Wait for Management trying the Emotional Blackmail..... "Please make sure you deliver all your parcels and packets because the customers have ordered them as Christmas presents, and we don't want to dissapoint all those little children" :Boo hoo!

And don't forget that Old Clarion Call of, "Royal Mail ... Delivering Christmas" or not as the case may be. :cuppa
