December is finally coming to a close. After a whirlwind month of shopping, shopping and probably more shopping; it’s time to take a step back and enjoy the last few days of the year.

1. Relax

Most of you don’t have to work on Monday. Enjoy this time to take a bubble bath, read a new book or watch your favorite movie. Or perhaps you’d like to do nothing, that’s fine too.

2. Spend time with loved ones

This is a great time to get reacquainted with the people that you love. You don’t have to worry about going into the office or other commitments. Cherish the time that you have together.

3. Celebrate

The new year is fast approaching and celebrate your accomplishments over the last year. Have a toast, go out to a fancy dinner, or do something to remind yourself that you rock. If things haven’t been great this year, take some time to make some better plans for next year.

4. Plan a special date

Have you been so busy that you haven’t made enough time for your boo thang? Take this weekend to plan a special day for the two of you.

5. Give back

This is an excellent time to donate your old clothing, volunteer at a soup kitchen or sign up to become a mentor. Pay it forward.
