Maybe if they didn't celebrate Christmas they spent time with their family on a different day and made a good amount of money because no one else wanted to work

That's what I did, made so much money! My parents were emergency workers (they're both retired now) and it was pretty common for one or both of them to have to work on Christmas Day. So we celebrated it on a different day most years, wasn't a big deal to us. Now they're all about having Christmas on Christmas, but I figure that's fair. They lost out on a bunch keeping other people's families safe. They deserve it
