Festive burnout seems to be a regular occurrence for me every Christmas season. December comes round and I’m feeling like I have got no energy to do anything. Festive burnout usually means that my routine goes out the window. I literally survive and run on Christmas songs, films, hot chocolate and gingerbread.…
