It was a downer to be sure, coupled with the obvious drawbacks of getting back to work after a two-week break. Strange how two weeks over the festive season feels like a lifetime. Sometimes you can’t even remember what you actually DO; old problems seem ENTIRELY new; colleagues greet you like long lost family, commenting on your weight, tan and new outfit. You do your best to disguise your dread with optimism - and breathe a sigh of relief when you get home at night. Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE our jobs, we are THANKFUL for said jobs, and we wish to be better in 2020 than ever before with the burning light of that annoying over-achiever at the front of the class. But, we’d be lying if we said that work trumps (unexpected and yet pleasant pun) Christmas. Coupled with the fact that it seems like all hell has broken loose, all over the world, in conjunction with the last of our (and your) holidays, we’re going to go out on a limb and bet that you’ll be needing some wine. We do.
As such, we’ve put together a list of your festive favourites in the hopes of enabling you to hold on to that good juju for as long as humanly possible. Once you’ve exhausted that, we’ll think of something else -don’t worry.
