It’s the most wonderful time of the year… right? The shopping and crowds. The back-to-back diet-busting gatherings. The seemingly endless check-ins with the in-laws. What’s not to love? 

Look, we get that it’s not always holly jolly with your nearest and oh-so-dearest. 

And so do the 80% of Americans who find it hard to relax during the holiday season. 

That’s why the Rev elves have taken a breather from putting the finishing touches on their 2020 speech-to-text projects to help us all chill. 

Sure, a hot-stone massage while burning that new beeswax Bahama Breeze candle might be more effective than learning this mere list of words. But 1) words are our thing and 2) they’re free.

So bless your budget and your brain as you bid farewell to this heckuva year with these fun little holiday stress-melting Words of the Day.
