Christmas is over, and now your living room looks like a jolly tornado just passed through. Wrapping paper scraps and half-eaten cookies remind you of the festive frenzy. Welcome to the sweet spot between Christmas and New Year’s—a time to breathe, sip some leftover eggnog, and slowly pry the tinsel from your cat’s tail.
This lull gives you a moment to plot your New Year’s tactics. Will you go big, small, or just lounge around watching fireworks on TV? Whatever you choose, soak in the quiet now, because the countdown to 2025 (or is it 2026?) waits just around the corner.
