Step one: breathe. No, for real. Literally close your eyes right now and take a deep breath. This, my friends, will be the simplest and most helpful tool to get you through the stress (I mean joy?) of the holiday season.

Really hard. Like pass the eggnog and a 5th slice of pie hard. But it’s okay! I have some helpful tips on how to use yoga as a way to destress this holiday season.

What We Did is our weekly look into the visual captures that people have taken and documented on Instagram along with the hashtag #WDDI. Every week, we comb through hundreds of images to try and find a few that are not only fun photos, but also provide a great look at what the City of Denton was like during that week. This week is no different.
Oh wait, this week is a little different in that we have a couple contest winners to announce...
Last week, we announced on social media that we were giving away a few tickets to this week's Oaktopia Festival. We had tons of entries. Below are the winners.
@_kendrarenae and @ronjeesus. Congrats! You have both won passes to this year's Oaktopia festival. We will be in contact with you for more information.
If you didn't win, fret not. Oaktopia still has tickets available. You can grab yours here. We'll have plenty more on Oaktopia this week. Until then, check out the 19 great images below from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX.

Who else is sore and droopy-eyed this Monday morning? We sure as heck are, but it was well worth it. Oaktopia put on quite the show this weekend and between Oaktopia, the food truck festival, dog days of Denton, and all of the normal Denton festivities, there was a lot of stuff going on and y'all seemed to take photos of all of it. We had almost 1,000 images tagged with #WDDI over the past week that we combed through for today's post. Whenever we have that many photos from a certain event, we like to break What We Did into two posts. So here's your first WWD of the day, featuring everyday awesomeness and remember to check back later today for an Oaktopia-focused edition.
What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got 21 of our favorite images from the past week in Denton, TX below. And what a week it was. Check out photos from these events and more in the posts below.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. As always, we're limited in the photos we can post, but we encourage you to search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other awesome photos that we were unable to include this week.
