Merry Christmas, everyone! This time of year is special, not just for the joy of holiday cheer, family gatherings, and festive feasts, but also for the opportunity it presents: a chance to reset.
For many of us, Christmas marks the beginning of a unique stretch of time—those magical days between Christmas and New Year’s.

It’s a period where routines blur, responsibilities pause, and indulgence is almost a requirement. While it’s easy to get lost in the rhythm of holiday movies, naps, and too many treats, there’s a deeper value to be found in this pause—a chance to step off the treadmill of life and reset intentionally.
