Entitled mum is slammed online after requesting child-free colleague works her Christmas Day shift

Christmas is a special time of the year for people of all ages, whether you're a child excited for Santa, a parent who's making the holidays magical for your little ones, or you're just simply looking forward to spending time with your loved ones.
