I'm Sure last time xmas fell on a Friday our caring,sharing employers made us work the extra hours over 4 days before Christmas Monday to Thursday so that we had Sat off, you can bet that if we get the Saturday off ( I think we will) RM will want the Saturday hours back so expect to work 1/4 of your Sat hours for the four days leading up to christmas eve!

I for one would rather do it that way than come in on the Saturday
