I hope you enjoyed these days, as you planned. Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree was a favorite annual read for us, too.

Absolutely love that book. My 19 yo read it for all of us this year. :)

I always found it such a conundrum to know that cutting over and over from the top wouldn’t actually result in a pointed top. LOL. But we willingly go along in the story, and it’s charming. I love that it made an appearance this year with your grown sons.

Many things to savor (those picture books!) and KFC...that made me laugh.

Chilli and sourdough!!! I bet that was a hit! You are endlessly cool and creative I’m feeling inspired to make a bowl this weekend and will perhaps sprinkle some Fritos ✨

I am savoring connecting with old friends this holiday season.

Thank you for the reminder to slow down - it’s always a challenge! Tonight I plan to wrap gifts while watching football and I’ll sip on rum & eggnog. I’ll savor it and think of you!! 🎄❤️

Savored our time this week. ❤️

I feel like this article has lifted some weight from my shoulders. I've been so stressed lately - feeling like I can't get everything done in time. I even stopped writing, because I feel like there's no time for it now. And of course, I have no festive mood whatsoever because of this. And winter holiday season is actually my favourite one. I think I really need to follow your advice and just focus on the good experiences, enjoy this time. Thank you! <3

I so understand and get this. I’ve been thinking about it a lot this holiday season. If we have to fight so hard to find joy in something that we love we are surely getting something wrong.
