For most people, the holiday season is heavily associated with celebration, reunions of family and friends, and rest and relaxation. Unfortunately, the reality for many health care workers can be quite different. Holidays are often incredibly stressful as we manage increasing job demands on top of societal expectations for what holidays are “supposed” to be.
