    This is why a church is lovely ..especially at Christmas you can join in but there is no pressure but you can feel that connection and joining in but not in a party way…plus church is peaceful…

    Have a wonderful Christmas.
    I feel so overwhelmed this year & I’ve not put any decorations up at all. My dog passed away last month & I've struggled without him. I've lost my way with a routine.
    Since recently discovering your channel, I would like to say thank you for helping me feel at ease. ❤x

    A really slow way to honor the season is to dispense entirely with commercial aspects. I enjoy others' decoratings and all but haven't shopped in years. That's admittedly easier for some of us than others with families etc.

    I always use the time „between the years“ to declutter, organize my papers, documents, taxes, deep clean the apartment.. I also plan something really nice to do/eat or watch on the 31st because I hate fireworks, it’s like a warzone in the city I live in!

    As often as I can, I try to THRIFT as many gifts as possible. I am always quite overwhelmed at how much STUFF ends up at thrift shops. It is possible to find brand new or gently used items. Experiences are WONDERFUL and the memories last LONG after the holiday s have passed. My husband's gift was to see Andrea Botelli in concert and thank God we were able to, before he had to stop his world tour. My youngest daughter is an Introvert and minimalist. She will often ask for gift cards to IKEA/ Etsy.

You have wonderful suggestions for how to enjoy simply, existing; love it! ... I too, love Winter (all seasons & change)! Now, I just have to tick off my list of to-do's our work holiday party scheduled for tomorrow... which I have been stressed about attending for several days now... 😂 Anyway, love your vlogs! Hugs to you and Sky! xo

    Now that my children are grown I spend the lead up to Christmas happily wandering in charity shops and then buy each person a small, fun item for under the tree. Our main gifts to each other are time, as we all live quite a distance away from each other. My daughter works in the NHS so she ( and many others) work every alternate Christmas. Enjoy your rest and reflection time Molly and see you after Hogmanay

    That was lovely, I love your outlook. I too prefer to be home, quiet activities and just with a few close family, it has taken many years to realise that this is ok and I don't have to be out enjoying a party to feel normal! Parties are not something we have ever done and people always ask us why are we not going out Christmas and new year. Have a relaxing time.

    Your haircut looks fantastic! Also, what an absolutely lovely gift from your mom. I must be out of the loop because I've never seen an Advent calendar like this. Great idea though. It made me think of ways I could make an Advent calendar of my own, using little homemade goodies (homemade teabags, for example!). Thank you for all your videos. They are so cozy and lovely to watch. Take good care of yourself over your break. You'll be missed!

    Best wishes for Christmas & the New Year - only found your channel this year but have loved it. I am an only child of quiet parents so have ended up quite happy with my own company but do have friends & socialise but like you don’t like crowds etc. looking forward to following you in the New Year - & in general becoming more minimalist & declutterring anything not needed in the cupboards & my life 😀

This is my first Christmas without my mum, so that's hard to be honest.

I want to wish you and yours a very Happy Christmas and all the very best for 2024. Enjoy this time you’ve set aside to relax and recharge. I imagine there will be many walks with Skye, good books and cups of tea. Sounds quite perfect to me. I look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Take care🤗💕

    Have a lovely Christmas and enjoy it in your own way, as we all should. I’m like you too I find large social events very overwhelming, even amongst my family. Going out is far too noisy these days. I’ve just had a big birthday and was almost frowned on because I didn’t have a big get together of family and friends. I’ve had lots of individual cuppas with lovely friends and it’s been so much nicer ☺️
    Happy Christmas xx

    For me, the festive season is a magical period of rest and cosiness, and family time. I love visiting artisan Christmas markets, they are very popular in Spain where I live for a time being. And in our family we have our own "recycled" gift wrappings - we just use those bags from previous years :) But we have much more space to keep them :)
