While we're officially in the lull of the holiday season, many of us may not be thinking a great deal about work or other obligations for the time being. Though, for those of us who can't put off our responsibilities, this can be a great day to check tasks off of our to-do list. Of course, said tasks should be Mercury-retrograde-approved, like revisions or reviews. In terms of fun, the day's planetary vibes are also supportive of friendly get-togethers and other activities that are designed to inspire, educate and uplift.
