Even though I asked for the 24th off it was denied even though a guy junior to me got the 24th off. Oh the joys and wonders of the coverage process.
Scoop - well "covered" this year

I think if you're in the bottom third you probably do best to award XXXX on a trip that only slightly impacts Christmas and/or Christmas Eve. You know you'll get hit by coverage, why not have some say in how? Via what bid (award (something)) did the junior guy who had the 24th off get his coverages assigned?
