The Friday Feature w/Sean: 12 Sleeps: Take A Breath

Twelve Sleeps Until the Big Man Arrives. Welcome to Week 247 of The Friday Feature.

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, one thing is certain: Christmas Day is just twelve sleeps away.

As a grandfather, “sleeps” are how we count down the big moments with our grandchildren. Twelve sleeps until a visit to grandma’s. Twelve sleeps until vacation. Twelve sleeps until Santa arrives.

But this isn’t just a countdown for kids—it’s a reminder for all of us.

This holiday season, take a moment. Pause. In the middle of the hustle and noise, stop for ten seconds. Take a deep breath and count: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

Use that moment to center yourself, to reflect, and to remember the reason for the season—whatever that means for you.

Then, keep moving forward. Celebrate the small moments, cherish the big ones, and don’t forget to take care of yourself along the way.

We’ll see you next Friday.
