Treat yourself. Get yourself a little something to celebrate the fact that 2020 is almost behind us, if that isn’t a reason to celebrate then what is!
Do nothing & be totally okay with it. I know we’ll all have a busy few days even without all of the usual festivities around Christmas, but as of December 26th let’s all stay in our jammies and literally do nothing. Drink hot chocolate, eat shortbread, have mid-day naps. Enjoy every quiet moment if you can!
Enjoy Christmas the best you can. I know it’s not easy. I am so disappointed that we can’t see everyone we normally get to and truly celebrate the season the way we have been lucky enough to in the past. It’s okay to feel a little bummed out about this, but remember that you’re doing the right now by staying home and staying safe!
Merry Christmas to all!
