Alright Rebels, holiday check-in time.
Christmas season has officially entered its final boss stage — expectations, plans, noise, feelings, and a weird pressure to be merry on demand.
Reminder you didn’t ask for but need anyway:
You do not have to perform Christmas.
You don’t have to:
- be joyful if you’re just tired
- be social if your nervous system is screaming
- romanticize the season if it brings up heavy stuff
- make this the “most magical year ever”
If this week felt festive and exhausting… congrats, you’re doing the holidays correctly.
So here’s the question:
👉 What are you giving yourself permission to NOT do this Christmas weekend?
No overexplaining. No guilt. No gold star for suffering.
Just boundaries, softness, and maybe disappearing into a blanket like a holiday cryptid.
Drop it below, or just sit with it quietly.
Both count.
You’re allowed to rest — even during Christmas.
Especially during Christmas. 🎄🖤⚡️
