Taking Down the Christmas Tree and Finding Rest in January Taking down the Christmas tree and putting away all of the decorations is always a little depressing. All that’s left, it seems, are early nightfalls and quiet evenings. That 5 pm sunset feels much darker without the twinkling of Christmas lights, doesn’t it? January can feel …
For me, wellness has never been about chasing a certain look.
