Slow Down

Can you believe Christmas is only 5 days away?! Where has the time gone?! It feels as though Thanksgiving was just last week and yet, the next holiday is already upon us. As we get closer to Christmas, it seems as though everyone around me is even busier than normal. Last minute gifts are being purchased, friends are heading out to see family and there is a holiday party every couple of nights.

Sometimes, we need the reminder to slow down in the midst of this busy season. And this past weekend, I did just that. I put on my go-to lounging top {only $24 for my follower is you buy in through this link}, made myself a cup of hot cocoa {with way too many marshmallows, of course} and cuddled up with my husband to watch cheesy Christmas movies. It was perfect. We went for long walks and had no destination in mind. It was the perfect reminder to refocus on the meaning of the season.

How do you like to refocus or slow down during this busy season?
