Merry Christmas and season’s greetings to all. whether you’re jingling bells or hitting the snooze button, there’s no denying that December the 25th can be tough for many of us for all sorts of reasons. That is why we’ve kept our newsletter going out today so, even if you’re curled up in a cozy corner trying to escape the day, you can keep up with at least one thing in your routine (and maybe discover some tips for surviving the awkward post-Christmas limbo). There’s information on things to look forward to for the week between Christmas and New Year, some ideas for January, and even an awesome article on keeping your mental health in check during the whole festive season.
We’ll see you back here on 8th January.
