#7: Holidays Are for Family
Unfortunately, sometimes taking off for the holidays just isn’t possible. Someone has to work to make sure other people can enjoy their holidays. This is especially true in the case of first responders and hospital workers and was the case for this man pictured below. He was on call, so he couldn’t spend time with his family on Christmas.

But his dad wasn’t going to take no for an answer. Instead of letting his son stay at the hospital alone during the holidays, his dad signed up to shadow in the hospital, all so he could spend time with him during Christmas. If that doesn’t show you how important family is, I don’t know what will.
