Your favorite holiday traditions

Oh my gosh, I loved hearing from many of you about your favorite holiday traditions! Here are some of your awesome shares:

🎄 "We’re all about Christmas tradition. One tradition my husband and I have is to go downtown and purchase chocolate truffles and champagne."

🎄 "One of our December traditions is our local tree-lighting ceremony, with caroling by the local middle school choir. It took place again last night and always puts us in the holiday spirit!"

🎄 "My guilty pleasure, and I'm not embarrassed to say it, is Hallmark movies and homemade chocolate chip cookies (a lot of them). It's the one time of year that I kind of go nuts with baking and eating."

🎄 "We don’t do the Advent calendar, but our Siberian [cat], George, gets one. His [advent calendar] features salmon & dried seaweed treats! George has no concerns for what others think. He does what feels best in the moment."

I feel like such a bad mom to my cat Ms Ringtail right now. I can't believe I've never gotten her an advent calendar. She must be feeling deprived. LOL!

Staying calm and centered during the holiday season

Anyway, what are you doing to stay calm, focused, and centered this holiday season? I know for many of us, our main thing is to roll out our yoga mats and move our bodies.

When it gets so busy that you don't even have time to roll out your yoga mat, I invite you to check out this gentle 15-minute chair yoga session. I created it a year ago, but it still works.

Just grab a chair (one without arms works best) and click on the video below. No need to change into workout clothes. Just take off your shoes and socks and hit the play button.

Enjoy your week!

Best,
Christine
