Last year I wrote about my approach to living longer— no, not exercise and salad, though those help— being festive as fuck, excuse my French. People who delight in stupid made-up holidays, late-stage capitalism driven or not, are set up for longer, happier lives. I don’t make the rules, but I’m pretty sure there’s something scientifically real to be said for finding and creating joy and community at every opportunity. If you’re lost, craving connection, seasonally depressed, or just feel like the holidays are more a chore than a FUN few months, I’m inviting you to shift your perspective.
