Especially for those with digestive issues, feasting during the holidays can be a huge source of discomfort.
Cookies, gluten, candy, fudge, heavy dishes with red meats and sauces, eggnog, fried latkes, creamy potatoes, cheese plate after cheese plate…

In fact, the market for adult journaling has practically exploded in the last few years — ever heard of bullet journaling?
