Unfortunately, being a funeral director, I am on call this Christmas week as well. Last year I had a home death at 5:30 AM. I remember ranting and raving to my wife "why me" till I got to the house and saw a hospice nurse, policeman and EMT. I thought, there are all professions other than me here this Christmas Morning and seeing a family in utter shock, I figure there are alot of people with bigger problems than working on a holiday. Since then it doesn't bother me as much, I just try and get home and watch my 4 year old play with his toys even if I can't watch him open them.
