December 17 - Candy Cane Patience

I think it's safe to say that most of us have at least one Christmas decoration up in our house. Many of us have a Christmas tree, a Nativity set (still haven't located our baby Jesus yet), or even a Christmas candle.

For today's activity you'll need a candy cane. Once you've got your candy cane in hand, sit in front of your Christmas tree or another special Christmas object. Look. Listen. Enjoy your candy cane and don't get up until it's gone!

The purpose of today's activity is to stop and reflect. To create margin in your day and to clear your head. Savor your candy cane and the sights around you. Take note of the sounds you hear. Relax. Enter into the spirit of Christmas.
