Just leave behind whatever you're not going to get delivered, not allowed to stream the mail so cutting off is the only option

Home at 3pm on the dot regardless on Christmas Eve, or as early as I can push it. Bollocks to working over after the 5 previous no doubt ridiculous days.

People stream the mailsort on Saturdays in ours as well. Never seen the point as it just makes Monday's even worse than they are already.
That said, surely you could skim a bit on xmas eve. Unless your boss is a complete numpty?
