How many of you are stuck working through x-mas

I usually work through holidays. Its just the fact that I asked off this time that bothers me. I usually don't give it a second thought. With so many people unemployed I consider myself fortunate to have a job at all. Here resently I'm starting to think that my boss is taking advantage of that though. He knows he has me by the Balls so he keeps pushing me to my breaking point. My wife is 6 months pregnant and my house is having some major repairs done( Looks like a total remodel). He knows I couldn't quit even if I wanted to.
