What’s the Best Way to Spend the Week After Christmas?

Do you catch up on home projects and reading? Or do you like to get out of town? Please share what has worked for you!

The week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve can feel like limbo time. Perhaps you feel tired from travel or from spending time with your imperfect family. If you have kids out of school, the normal routines are off. Maybe you love celebrating Christmas, but now that it’s over, you feel the postholiday slump.

If you’re lucky enough to have some time off, the week after Christmas can be a wonderful luxury — whether you tackle home projects or catch up on movies you’ve missed. Which is why we want to ask: What’s the best way you’ve ever spent the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve? Please let us know in the Comments below.

Do you celebrate Kwanzaa? The festivities don’t have to be placed on hold between Christmas and New Year’s Eve — there’s a holiday that stretches between them. Kwanzaa is a weeklong celebration of African heritage in African American culture, created by Maulana Karenga (originally named Ron Everett) in 1966. Do you celebrate Kwanzaa at home? If so, we’d love to hear about it and see photos of your celebrations.
