This time of year can leave us feeling frazzled, impatient, anxious, ill-tempered, or even depressed. We can feel a lot of pressure at this time of year, which is the exact opposite of what this season is supposedly about. Many people can't wait for the holidays to be over, whether they celebrate them or not. This spell gives you permission to chill out amid the stress. You will need:

• Comfy clothes
• A white candle
• A fireproof candleholder
• Your favorite calming essential oil or relaxing scent
• Soft, gentle music
• A place where you will not be disturbed

Put on your comfy clothes and light your candle in the holder. Anoint yourself with your favorite calming scent, or simply inhale the aroma. Play your choice of soft, calming music. Allow yourself to be in this space until you feel relaxed. Extinguish the candle when done. Repeat as necessary.
