I was on the emergency shift once and me and the vet got so 
on Christmas day that we didn't hear the phone ring. One of the off duty nurses ended up answering it!
Fortunately by the time the client arrived with her dog (in a non emergency condition I might add - a rash on his leg!!) I had sobered up a bit!
Disgraceful behaviour 
Luckily I am good at sobering up quickly when faced with work emergencies. (I won't go into details, but somethings just bring you back down to earth with a bump)
Christmas can be quite good at work, depending on your job. A great atmosphere, and if you are lucky everybody is too busy stuffing their faces and drinking

Kringle, you only work one day a year. What are you complaining about?
Now, a carol.
Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg;
The Batmobile has lost a wheel, and the Joker got away - hey!
Oof. All right, how about...
Deck the halls with gasoline,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la
Light a fire and watch it gleam
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la
Isn't it fun to play with matches
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
Watch the house burn down to ashes,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la.
Merry Xmas to Ya'll, and to Ya'll a Good Night!
