Zolnir might not have a choice to take off work on Christmas. Some people are actually required to work on Christmas, y'know? If everyone took off for Christmas Eve and Christmas day, there'd be no police, paramedics, doctors, surgeons, or nurses available. After all, police and people in hospitals end up pretty busy during the holidays.

Sometimes people break the law during Christmas time, sometimes people have accidents, and... police and hospital staff need to be available in case someone attempts suicide. Having no one during a holiday that's all about happily being with everyone kinda drives some people to the edge, y'know?
