This year I have like five advent things going at once:

• Advent of Code (basically this)
• Hot chocolate advent calendar
• Whiskey Advent Calendar
• Cosmetics (more for my partner though)
• A Tea advent calendar my mom gave me

It almost feels overwhelming, but it makes every day in December something to look forward to. Especially in the evenings. My plans are essentially to de-stress in the afternoon with some tea and sit with the dog; try some whiskey when the sun goes down or with dinner; do Advent of Code around release; and watch an episode of Deep Space 9, as that show is just super cozy for some reason. I just hope I don't get stressed out or overloaded this year from it all.

I just hope I don't get as stressed out as I did last year.
