I know a lot of places are open on Christmas eve, including where I work. It's actually not a bad day to go in if your family lives real close because you aren't going to be doing any real work and will be let out early.

This to all my hatin' folks seeing me getting guac right now..
 

worked in PE as an SA last year - was asked to work on Xmas and New Years. Ended up sleeping 2-4 hours under my desk. Needed to close a deal and the seller was Asian Co. Lunar New Years is more important in Asia and they don't celebrate Xmas or New years as much

still worked lunar new years tho since PE fund is american...

think this is different from most situations since it was an internship and just about any work can be thrown at interns. for FT analysts it is all based on what teams you are on / companies you cover; if nothing comes up for your teams youre off the hook, but if you're smack dab in the middle of a deal that is in full momentum, it could be a polar opposite situation.
