For a time of year that is meant to bring joy, the festive season has its fair share of stresses. If you really think about it, celebrating Christmas for most adults involves a crazy amount of money spending and life admin on top of holding down our jobs and other normal responsibilities. It might be a paradox, but it seems to leave us with even less spare time to wind down in.

In times like these, we have to cast aside our more worthy hobbies, like learning a language, or getting some exercise. That’s right, your downtime is 100% memes now. There are worse fates, such as preparing for the feigned happiness you will show when a distant relative offers you an ill thought out Christmas gift. Think of this as some recovery time, or at least, a way to massage your brain before it has to deal with some hardcore festive cheer.
