How to enjoy the holiday season (1)

As the month of December have already embarked, we have officially entered the holiday period.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle during this time of the year, a relevant question popped up in my mind: How do we enjoy the holiday season without being carried away by the increased social activities which are meant to be festive?
Thought #1: Spacing them out into next year. Not all the gatherings needed to be organized before the end of the year. We can carry some of them into next year. It is probably better and more enjoyable than “cramming “ them all into Dec.
