Take A Breath
Relax For A Few Minutes

By Theresa Juva

It’s a week before Christmas and all through house, not a thing is stirring, including your exhausted spouse.

The Christmas tree is adorned with beauty and flair, but when you think of scrubbing the floors before company comes, you soon begin to despair.

But relax, hold on, the day will come and go.

Kick back with a glass of wine and take things slow, and remember to enjoy the sparkling lights’ glow.

Reward yourself with a trip to a spa for the ultimate relaxation before the big dinner day:
