What to Do With Your Life in December

Mailboxes are overflowing, cookies are in the oven, and entire guest bedrooms are being transformed into gift wrapping stations as we speak. December brings with it a special sort of crazy, and here at Team CS we’re all about savoring the joyful little moments amidst that chaos. While we often find ourselves scrambling to please others during the holiday season, it’s also important to make time for a few things that make you happy (whether that’s sipping hot chocolate or watching Love Actually for the 64th time.) It’s your life, so scroll down for ten fun ideas for what to do with it this month!
