It is definitely time to take a breather from the frantic pace that was the holiday season. I like to sit and vegetate for a day just to remember what it is like to be in a completely calm state with absolutely nothing to think about and nothing to dwell on. Wrap yourself in your newly acquired Snuggie and grab a mug of this spicy hot chocolate. Then take a nap. You deserve it.
