Well speaking for an airline employee with kids its difficult. Fortunately for me I have had to work only 1 Christmas since son was born. We bid every 6 months or so and when you bid you try to bid good off days with holidays off. Sometimes it works and many it doesnt. Like pilots and fa's we just figure out when a day that all the family can get together and we do the gifts then. Thanksgiving isnt as bad because I work an early day shift and get home by 2 pm. As many will tell you its all about planning and realizing that sooner or later you will have enough senority to hold all those off.
