I like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! One other thing, take the time to shut down your devices to be with friends and family. Yes, I know it will be hard, but taking a break away from the screens can be mentally and physically healthy.

According to a study done by eMarketer, we will have spent about 4 hours a day engaging with our mobile devices. Too much time spent on the devices has been known to cause anxiety, depression, and loss of sleep among other things. It’s time to take a breather and no better way than the holidays.

Go local Christmas lights, listen to live Christmas music, build a gingerbread house together, have a small social with a few of your friends. So many things to do to be away from your tech. Don’t worry about the likes, posts, emojis, updates for a while. Please relax and enjoy the reality around you.
