Now, unfortunately, you won’t find any chocolate here. In fact, none of it is edible so please don’t try to eat your screen. Instead, each day has a well-being exercise or quote that we’ve included to promote positivity and perseverance. It’s our hope that by taking part, people will feel grounded and be ready to face whatever December brings. At the very least, it will get them thinking and trying new things. Updated daily!
