Well? And would your religion (if any) come into the equation?
It's a game of three halves!

Not a chance.

You can make plenty of money in this job monday-friday the rest of the year.

There's no need to work any other time, especially holidays.
You'd have to be desperate.

i guess for some its just another day

traditionally the window cleaner was normally a jehovah's witness

even if you dont celebrate, you could at least have a few days off

working on christmas day  ;D ;D ;D

Well I put £401 - £500.  I could always take a day off another time in lieu.  I don't have any family within 200+ miles of me so no problem there - and many of them don't do Christmas anyway.
I suppose if I was religious I wouldn't do it but I'm not.

I am religious and I dont do Christmas but I still wouldnt go out and work on Christmas day for 2 reasons.
1. Nobody would want you round on that day and 2. Its a good excuse to take a couple of days out which I wouldnt normally do.

I think if you keep religion out of Xmas, and many in the UK do, the only reason for not working it is to be with your kids.  If I had no kids I would be tempted to work a bit I suppose.

I'd do commercial work on the 25th if I was really under pressure,.. but I'd want very good money, and only if could take another day off to make up for it.
It's a day to spend with the family though if at all possible.

Well of course I wouldn't do the work uninvited if itwas domestic.  I can't see anyone wanting it done Christmas day anyway.  I have cleaned on schools on boxing day before though but that was as much to do with not being able to stand the people I was living with as to do with earning.
