It’s that time of year again – when the only sunlight you see is through the window by your desk, there isn’t enough snow for skiing despite all the precipitation, and your cubicle-mate has the sniffles, again. Take a minute to cherish all the positives! Like the fact that we SAW the sun in December, there is snow a little further up the mountain, and your coworkers like to share with you, even if it is seasonal (cough, cough). With the right food-to-people ratio, the holidays are a merry time of the year that we want you all to enjoy. When the eggnog runs out, refer to the list below to keep the stoke high during this festive season.
- Keeping track of the givers of 'less than exciting' gifts helps avoid awkwardness with the inevitable re-gifting
- Playing questionnable games during family get togethers is a given. Put your game face on and set new world records
- When surrounded by snoring humans and others that had one drink too many, remember that the holidays are for sharing - even in backcountry huts
- Keeping a ratio of 1:1 between water and booze helps reduce the intensity and duration of hangovers
- Tracking forecasted delivery times for late-sent gifts is linked to increased heart disease. You waited too long. They'll forgive you
- New Years resolutions are designed to be enforced in the new year only. Holding back may cause undue psychological stress
- Hone your mixology skills by turning eggnog and rum into lit dance moves. Yes, you can floss
- Binge watching holiday movies is not only allowed, but encouraged. Home Alone, the Grinch, Elf, Miracle on 34th Street and The Snowman should all be considered
- Don't overthink it. That ugly Christmas sweater looks great on you
