For many, Christmas Day means opening presents with family, eating too much food and watching “A Christmas Story” over and over.

But for people like Jan Sigona, the holiday simply is business as usual. As a nurse in the intensive care unit at Delnor Hospital in Geneva, she knows that illness and accidents don’t take a day off just because it’s Christmas.

This year, her shift started at 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve and ended at 7 a.m. Tuesday morning, but Sigona said her work schedule doesn’t disrupt her holiday celebration much because her shift ended in time to attend church on Christmas morning.
