Mo’Magic Winter 2025

Music - In Between Breaths by SYML

Wait, wait, wait—it's the winter holidays ALREADY?! I could have sworn we were all making ambitious New Year's resolutions approximately five minutes ago. You know, the ones about drinking more water, finally organizing that junk drawer, becoming a morning person? Yeah, those. But here we are, hurtling toward the end of another year like time itself has somewhere important to be. Rude, honestly.

So, is it cold where you are? (Please say yes, because suffering through winter without the cozy aesthetic is just cruel. Nobody wants lukewarm December.) Are you gearing up to visit family and friends? Fantastic! Planning a fun New Year's celebration? Even better! I'm genuinely rooting for you here.

Ah yes, it's that magical time of year: twinkling lights, cozy sweaters, heartwarming gatherings, the smell of cookies baking, and—let's be honest—at least one spectacularly awkward conversation about your life choices over dinner. "So, when are you getting married?" "Have you thought about buying a house?" "Why are you still single?" It's all part of the charm, really. The holidays wouldn't be complete without Aunt Karen's unsolicited opinions or your cousin's humble-brag about their promotion. Drama: it's the gift that keeps on giving!

But here's the real talk: whether you're absolutely loving every festive second or just white-knuckling your way to January 2nd with a forced smile and a glass of wine, please carve out some time for you. Your mental health isn't just important; it's non-negotiable. You can't pour from an empty cup (yes, I said it, and I meant it). Take that walk. Read that book. Hide in the bathroom for ten minutes of peace. Do whatever you need to do.

So take a breath. Be ridiculously kind to yourself. Set boundaries if you need to. And remember: you're going to make it through this season, drama and all—and you might even find some genuine joy and connection along the way.

Here's to hoping your holidays are filled with more warmth than weirdness, more laughter than stress, and more magic than mayhem. You've got this. 🎉

Warm Wishes,

Robert
