Christmas workers: Festive greetings

The majority of people who celebrate Christmas have a day off but there are many who have to work - especially those in the emergency services and care sector.

However, that's not stopped them from taking to social media to make sure they pass on their festive greetings.

Here is a selection of their tweets:

Avon and Somerset Police wants everyone to stay safe:

A great photo, not to be sniffed at.

Derbyshire Fire Brigade are making calls:

Not a fire cracker in sight!

British Transport Police:

Hi Viz message from the British Transport Police

West Yorkshire Fire Brigade sang their Christmas message:

They wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Nurse Eileen Carney-Jones tweeted this photo of the 'early brigade' at the Teddington Memorial Hospital Walk-in Centre, just before they had to deal with a champagne flute accident.

Merry Christmas to fellow Christmas workers - caring never stops

Emergency services, like the London Fire Brigade, are keeping the community safe:

London fire fighters are hoping for fewer false alarms this year

Yorkshire Ambulance workers are on standby:

A simple message for us all

And now for weather from the Met Office:

Met Office gets festive with a Gif

And the UGC hub is looking out for your Christmas messages. Happy Tweetmas!
