In a Nutshell
The days leading up to the holidays are a whirlwind of activity, from traveling to gift-giving to potlucks. Now, after all of the festivities, we're in this liminal space until New Year's Eve. Maybe you're still with your loved ones and want to make the most of your time together. Maybe you just want to get out of the house. If you're not quite sure what that looks like, don't worry — our team has recommendations on what to do.
 
 
 
Have a blast,

What should I do after the holidays?
what's got us buzzing
What should I do after the holidays?
"I try my best to decompress by doing things I enjoy (thrifting, hanging with friends, going for walks on nature trails). I also spend a good chunk of time on New Year's Eve cleaning, journaling, and reflecting on the past year to try to set myself up on a nice note going into the new year." — Morgan Mandriota, newsletter editor
"We play a lot of board games and card games in my family. I also use this time to enjoy some of my hobbies or put to test new gifts/gadgets. In my opinion, the most important thing to do during this week is decompress, so you can find me lounging around, too." — Sarah Matysiak, newsletter editor
"Usually we try to go for a walk on the beach, in the woods, or visit nice gardens — weather dependent, of course! Some fresh air and stretching your legs in nature is a real gift amid the chaos of the holidays." — Alice Porter, editor
"I feel like those days are a window to enjoy the holiday season with less pressure, so we spend a lot of time enjoying the cozy lights, reading, eating all the cookies, and just enjoying the moment of calm before the rush of a new year kicks in." — Sara McTigue, senior editor
"I tend to lose all sense of time in the period between Christmas and New Year's. It's usually a blur of eating chocolate for breakfast, living in my pajamas, wandering to the fridge to pick at leftover Christmas dinner, marathoning TV shows and films, and taking the occasional dog walk. Bliss." — Chloe Szilagyi, editor
