The Christmas season is a time for joy, celebration, and connection, but it can also bring stress, overcommitment, and exhaustion. Between planning festive events, shopping for gifts, and attending holiday gatherings, the Christmas cheer can start to feel like a chore. This year, why not approach the season with a lighter heart and more laughter? Laughter Yoga from Laughter Works can help you survive and thrive through the holidays.
