Aside from the people you mention in the emergency services, I don't agree. Plenty of people choose [note the italics] to work over Christmas and their motivation is never anything other than money. Do you honestly believe these girls have 'given up' their Christmas just for us?
I've never quite understood why so many people find it difficult to understand that Christmas to some is just another day. Technically speaking you shouldn't celebrate it all unless you're a Christian.

As being someone who has to work through Christmas without choice. I can positively tell you it's toss.
The money is one thing, but everybody likes to visit family and friends and have a good time partying etc.
Therfore regardless of the reasons behind working we have to show some gratitude to those who do.
This applies to everyone who works over the Christmas period, fire fighters, police, hospital staff, agriculture etc etc.
spot on, personally i wouldn't have minded if all the babeshows weren't on yesterday it is just one day of the year im sure we would have survived, with no babeshows on, but i give credit to to the girls and staff for working yesterday, i would never work on xmas day unless i had too, family and friends is more important to me,

it depends, xmas day is the only day of the year i see some of my distant family, so if i worked on xmas day i would probably never see them, its not so much my mum and dad that i would miss spending xmas with as i see them a lot anyway, i hadn't seen my aunt, uncle and cousins since xmas 2011, maybe im a soft git but family is important to me,
who decides that the babechannels have to be on xmas day anyway its not an essential thing that the public need on xmas day? perhaps some of the girls may have had to work even if they didn't want to, and some probably did work on xmas day for the money, if no babechannel babe wanted to work would they have all been off air yesterday?

Exactly. And this is why YOU choose not to work on Christmas day.
But not everybody thinks like that and to those people working, voluntarily, on and over Christmas, it obviously doesn't hold the same kind of importance. They wouldn't choose to work on those days if it did.
I'm just saying I don't agree with this belief that we owe the babeshow girls and staff some kind of massive gratitude just because they've chosen to work over Christmas, and that anyone who genuinely believes these people have given up their Christmas just for our benefit, is a very disillusioned and/or gullible person.
