We’re in the final stretch. In the past 30 days, you survived Thanksgiving with your in-laws and Christmas with your entire extended family. Now all that remains of the “holiday season” is the hazy week between Christmas and New Year’s.
Even if you were on vacation for the majority of this week, it’s likely that you—like my husband and me, who spent the holidays on our own, thousands of miles away from any family members—are absolutely exhausted. If you weren’t responsible for cooking all of the meals over the holidays, you were on the clean-up committee, and cleaning up after a holiday party is no joke.
