Give Yourself Time to Slow Down with a Sweet Treat
Holidays seem to produce a time warp of sorts, creating a sense of urgency to shower friends and romantic partners with gifts and goodies. While this can be fun, it can also become a stressful situation. Instead of worrying about the perfect gift, allow yourself time to slow down and enjoy one another’s company. Make plans of no plans, light some candles, dim the lights, and order in if that feels right. Then, ending the night with a homemade dessert will make the day that much sweeter.
