Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal

YOUR MINDFUL MOMENT

First of all, why are you opening my email on Christmas Day – go open some pressies instead 🤶🏾🎄🎁

You did it. You made it to Christmas Day!!

Maybe you didn’t drink at all this December.

Maybe you drank less.

Maybe you drank the same but were more intentional about it.

Maybe some nights went to plan, and some nights didn’t. All of that is OK.

However you got here — you’re here. And that’s the only thing that matters today.

Don’t listen to Hollywood: Christmas isn’t about perfection. It’s not about having the perfect meal, the perfect decorations, the perfect family dynamic, or the perfect approach to alcohol.

It’s about presence (and presents). It’s about showing up and being there for the people who matter, in whatever way you can manage.

So today, let go of the scorekeeping, the guilt, the shoulda, woulda, coulda’s.

And just enjoy the moment.

Merry Christmas. You rock!

Mini dance in celebration of you!

• Find a peaceful moment to raise a glass and say a well-earned cheers to you. You were a freakin’ rockstar this December, and you deserve to celebrate yourself! And know that I’ll be cheering right along with you 🧡.
