Call out

It's a big deal bc besides be a holiday or not I don't have family with me and it's gonna be the first time in the last four year that I'm gonna have the opportunity to celebrate with them 

Hi, it depends on the organization's policy. Some companies will require you to make it up by matching the missed holiday by one of equal value (Major holiday to major holiday and minor holiday to minor holiday). Additionally, you will lose the holiday pay.

Don't worry guys, by the end of the thing my manager gave me that day off, thank you for everyone's help ?

I think this is hospital specific

Bc it's at night, the holiday for night shift in my hospital is the night before, and my bday is the next day, I don't wanna be all day sleeping in my bday 

Welcome to adulthood. 

For us, you get double points if you call in on a holiday. So those points add up. 

Well we do work in healthcare and it's a 24/7 365 day a year kind of place. You really want to save your call ins for a rainy day. You never know when you might really need them. As for holidays, everyone has to take their turn. Given complete freedom of choice, no one would work the holidays. But again the hospitals don't shut down just because it's the holidays. Be fair to your colleagues and take your turn like everyone else. 

If it's an emergency, but if you are scheduled to work and have advanced notice of this, then why not notify them before then that you cannot make it?

But if you have advance notice it's not really an emergency, is it? Emergencies aren't planned and anybody going to their supervisor/scheduler and saying they are going to have an emergency on a Holiday and can't make it that day would be laughed out of the room.

In all honesty I said call out if there was an emergency. The OP implied they were going to call out and that it was not an emergency (unless I read it wrong) so I said why not call in advance to let them know you aren't coming, to avoid an inconveniences. Did you misunderstand what I said?
