If we\u2019re being honest, we have to\nadmit that we have a love\/hate relationship with the holidays. Who doesn\u2019t? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what this festive season has in store for you, we\u2019ve got a tea to help get you through the most wonderful time of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n

The office party stopped at midnight. You did not. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re on your second glass\nof [insert your drink of choice here] nothing sounds better than a third. And\nin no situation does this decision make more sense than at your annual office\nparty. Office holiday parties are fascinating social experiments. One in which\nyou find yourself inexplicably doing the In My Feelings <\/em>dance with your\nboss. An impromptu afterparty with the coolest of your colleagues is the only\nway to redeem the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You out-caroled Aunt Carol.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The holidays can do strange\nthings to people. Like resurrect your deeply buried competitive streak. You\nmight\u2019ve been too shy to audition for your high school production of White\nChristmas, <\/em>but everyone knows you had the chops. Now, as an adult, there\u2019s\nno better way to prove to your family that you\u2019re a confident performer than\nhitting the highest notes in All I Want for Christmas<\/em> during family\nsingalong time. Aunt Carol never stood a chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because you\u2019re not starting 2020 feeling like this.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The food, the wine, the\nchocolates, the endless snacking, it all tastes so, so good. But any amount of\nsustained celebration can leave you feeling sluggish instead of energized. And\nfeeling energized is the only way to start not only a new year, but a new\n@?#!ing decade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s our advice: ring in 2020\nwith style, then kick it off with a Konmari-ing of epic proportions. Get rid of\nabsolutely everything that doesn\u2019t spark complete and total joy. Starting with\nyour bloated tummy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turkey exploded. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cooking\nis an art. Don\u2019t let anyone tell you otherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially not your\nmother-in-law. If she does start to criticize your cooking may we suggest you\nchange the subject? We hear and that the weather in Arizona is beautiful this\ntime of year and that Oprah has a podcast now. What\u2019s a podcast? We\u2019re glad she\nasked. Now you can tell her about an art form that truly <\/em>interests you.\nIs that smoke coming from the kitchen? Never mind, you never like turkey that\nmuch to begin with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only gift you couldn\u2019t return was the flu. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kids are great. They\u2019re entertaining, cuddly and our only hope for the future. But when you invite kids into your home, you\u2019re also inviting disease. (Any parent will wholeheartedly agree.) Was it Charlie with her running nose? Or Hugo and his insistence on licking every single one of the crackers you\u2019d so thoughtfully placed on your cheese tray<\/u><\/strong><\/a>? Not matter. At least they gifted you something you can charish forever \u2013 an extra few days off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
