When we last made a resolution, it was to improve sleep. How’s that going? I am happy to report that the snooze button has not crept its way back into my morning routine.
Of course, there was a week when I didn’t have to set an alarm, and that may have helped. Maybe. Probably.
This month, I’m doing a throwback resolution. Last year, I wrote about taking the pressure off the perfect holiday.
And since I’m still getting 1,000 emails a day with sales, buying guides, recommendations, and holiday “advice,” I feel that this topic is still relevant.
So here’s the December resolution:
Embrace the ugly.
To help you with this resolution, read last year’s post.
Then, just for fun, read this interesting article on the humble Christmas sweater. The 1980s staple became a sartorial pariah… until it wasn’t. Nowadays, the ugly Christmas sweater is as ubiquitous as subpar pop Christmas albums.
All it took was a change in perspective.
Embrace the ugly. You might find it’s not so ugly, after all.
