Is it normal to work on Christmas Eve?
Depends.It depends
Yes, plenty of people work on Christmas Eve, especially in jobs that need to stay open or keep running. Whether it feels normal depends on your workplace, your role, and what you and your family usually do for the holiday.
Christmas Eve isn’t a universal day off. Hospitals, restaurants, shops, transport, public services, and other round-the-clock workplaces may need staff, and some office jobs carry on too. In other workplaces, people finish early or take the day off.
