Christmas is one of the most triggering times of the year, bringing both celebration and danger. This episode summarizes the core strategies from the 5-part "Christmas Clean" series, providing five top, practical tips to ensure you stay clean through the holidays and launch into the New Year with momentum.

The key goal is to avoid the common pattern of accruing significant "debt" (relapses/slips) over Christmas, which can be so large that even the New Year's momentum isn't enough to overcome it. By staying clean now, you can enter a "surplus" in January, allowing you to build something meaningful and sustainable.
