I'm not this year, but I have been on call during Christmas and other holidays before. It is usually pretty quiet, both because there aren't a lot of changes with less people working, and at least for me, there are less customers using the product. But it can still be stressful knowing your celebrations or time with family can be interrupted by an alert. And sometimes you can get unusual alerts, like alerts caused by unusually low traffic, or a bug that only impacts one user, and that user happens to be the only one using a service at midnight on Christmas eve (is that you santa?).
