Always keep focused on what's really important this season-those essentials that focus on the bigger picture rather that the right now. During this challenge, do two things each week that make you feel good deep down. Help those in need, make your winter home 'Green' or why not go old school and make homemade gifts for those you love? Keep it simple and revel in the holidays.
