Like many women around the world and across industries, Mrs. Claus has adopted a simple mantra to get through the waning days of a challenging year: Survive till 25. (December 25, that is.)
Here are a few of her favorite activities that put the “elf” in self-care—and just might help anyone get through this holiday season.
Drafting an Out-of-Workshop (OOW) auto-reply.

The reports through Western presses read rather familiarly. Joyful residents taking selfies on abandoned, sullen tanks. Armed men ebullient and shooting into the sky with adventurist stupidity.
