I won't forget the employee who wrecked his company car on the way home from a party during the holidays. Not only did he lose his job that holiday season, he also ended up doing serious damage to his marriage. His wife was home with a new baby and it was the last straw in a series of relationship (and career) damaging blows.
It's much better, even though the holiday season is typically a time when hiring slows down, to use the holiday season to boost your career or, at least, avoid holiday office gaffes.
Whether it's taking advantage of less competition for available jobs, spending time on career planning, surviving the holiday season, navigating holiday office etiquette, or dealing with the stress the holidays can bring, here's holiday season career advice from About.com's Career Guides.
