The holiday season is upon us. For many of us this means baking cookies, ugly Christmas sweaters, holiday parties, and family gatherings. However, for some this means work. If you're like myself, you're going to be working on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. If you'll be missing out on the holiday celebrations, you'll probably think a lot about it. So here are some other thoughts you may have while working this holiday season.

1. Is the holiday pay really worth it?

Yeah, I'll admit the extra cash is nice, but was it worth missing Christmas Dinner?

2. Don't these people have anywhere better to go on the holidays?

It's the holidays, go home.

3. Why are guests/customers so rude today?

Would it kill you to spread some holiday cheer?

4. I wonder what holiday treats are in the break room. Hopefully cookies

5. What political debate am I missing at home?

We all know there will be yelling about the results of this year's election

6. How does someone even get this holiday off?

If I could get the day off, I would.

7. Will there be leftovers at home when I get off?

I'm going to eat everything in the break room, then go home and eat all the leftovers.

8. My work BFF better be suffering through this with me.

Let's be honest. You wouldn't survive working the holidays without your work BFF and if you're gonna suffer you want them to.

9. At least I got out of being asked a ton of questions I don't have answers to.

"Why are you single?" "What're you going to do with your degree?"

10. I get to celebrate the holidays with my second family.

If your job makes you work holidays, you probably see your coworkers more than your own family anyways.
