There is no denying that the end of the holiday season isn’t exactly our favourite time of the year. Not only does it signify the conclusion of the year that was, but it also means that the festive season is another 365 days away—and unless you plan on jetting off on a European escape come winter, as is your next summer holiday.
If you’re feeling the doom and gloom that comes with taking down the Christmas lights and boxing up that tree of yours, then never fear, there are a number of reasons why going back to work isn’t as bad as it would seem. You guessed it, it’s the joy that comes with building the new year’s work wardrobe, and you know what they say—new year, new you right?
