The best part of the holiday season is that sweet spot on the calendar between Thanksgiving and the New Year where everyone's work comes to a complete stand still. Society just understands that we might as well chill during this time frame and it's completely normal for people to simply put an away message on their email that says, "OOO—Let's circle back in 2023". Those spreadsheet issues are just going to have to wait until January to be solved.
Maybe it's become normalized because everyone is using up the last of their PTO, giving up on Q4 goals, and cracking a beer at 11am so that they can endure their family members who have decided to stop by with cookies every other day to get in the holiday spirit. Whatever you need to do to survive the holidays is definitely not going to include late nights at the office or working overtime. 2022 is over and any work problems are simply going to roll over into next year.
