When I was a newb I had a great time working on -all- the holidays. They were hiring 23-25yr. old flight attendants and I was 26 and single.
We had some great parties on the layovers!
The few senior mamas (you know, gals in their 40's) working on holidays would bring stuff for the parties too; cake, cookies, tequila, limes...
We were having so much fun one Captain looked at me and said, "When I die, I want to come back as a new hire Flight Engineer!"
