    I'll be in the kitchen and with family for most of the day. I might go for a walk after dinner (and before dessert :blushing: ) however.

    My gym is open 1/2 day Dec 24 and closed Dec 25. The people that work there have families, too. I just don't think it's right to patronize businesses that keep their employees working on a family holiday. Just the opinion of someone who is forced to work holidays.

    Mines open but not staffed, so nobody misses out...is it still wrong?

    I didn't mean to sound so judgmental. :blushing: Go for it! Health comes first.

    I don't use a gym but I will be doing my workout and getting a swim in before our dinner. The triplets are getting their first skis this Christmas so no doubt we will be heading up the mountain too so Sophs can ski with her Dad. So definately not a day of rest for me! I'd say if you want to go to the gym you should go ahead, get it over with early in the day so it doesn't impose on family time. If you don't go you will spend the day with Gym-itch - where you think about it because you haven't been (not the kind when you don't change your shorts after a work out!)

    If you're single then what's wrong with going to the gym before going to your parent's place for xmas dinner?

    Well, in Turkey Christmas Day doesn't mean much, so I'll stick to my routine and do a workout before having a nice lunch with colleagues. If I were home with my family in Australia, I doubt I'd go.

    It's not wrong to go to the gym on Christmas Day... but I'm amazed that your gym is open on Christmas day!!!!!

    My gym's closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day... so no sneaking out to swim. Then it's open weekend hours on the interstitial dates before closing again on New Year's Day... not that I'd be in any fit state to go swimming after celebrating Hogmanay down the pub :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    But as of 3rd January it'll be back to business as usual! :bigsmile:

    Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and have a fabulously Cool Yule! :drinker:

    Well that depends on you but for me, its not weird at all to go to gym on Xmas day. In fact I have a lower body weight lifting session tomorrow (Xmas day) then after that I'll be heading to 2 family reunions, one from my Dad's & the other to my Mom's.

    Hey hold on, that's such an immature statement. I also experienced having to work on holidays before & its a given. Gyms are like restaurants, hospitals, telecommunications or pharmacies wherein its a necessity. If you don't want to work on holidays then I say look for a desk job or anything that won't require you to work on holidays rather than bashing your tantrums here like a kid.
