I have a mate in Yorkshire who is a bus driver and who just hates Christmas and New Year. He's very happy to take as many shifts as he can over that period. Even if there's no direct and immediate financial benefit to him it does actually generate a lot of goodwill from his colleagues with families whose duties he is willing to cover and it means that at other times of the year he can get people to cover his duties when he needs the time off.
