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 think you have a very nice friend to be willing to offer you alternative activities in recognition of your basic nature! As a fellow introvert and HSP, I always appreciate your down to earth, minimal approach to life. Have a lovely Christmas!
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!
I'm retired but, when I was at work, I often went in to work for that in between period. Fewer people in the office and you could really clear the decks as it were.
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.
Merry x-mas and happy new year, Molly! I am thoroughly enjoying your Notion organizer I purchased on Etsy, as well as a couple of the tshirts and sweater I purchased too. 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

Your video has lots of good ideas. Instead of buying each other gifts my husband and I always have a couple of days away after Christmas. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and enjoy your break.
The christmas market was lovely and I find it a great idea to support a local business. Loved this weeks vlog and I wish you a merry x-mas and a great new year ❤
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
As you shared this illustrator, it reminded me to mention Esther Bennink. Her work always reminds me of you. She is very lovely and I ordered from her multiple times. Insane good quality and absolutely beautiful art.
Molly my husband and I no longer buy each other anything for the holidays. We do put up an artificial tree with ornaments he hand made. Also my family stopped exchanging gifts. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas. 💕
Hi Molly . I am not sure how I Found your UA-cam channel But I am so glad I did. I wish You a very happy christmas. I’ll Miss you until the new year Is here. Take care and thank you.
Went to a winter artist's fair and got some recycled paper packaging for Xmas pressies, love thinking sustainable at this time of year so thanks for the inspiration
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.
Hi Molly, lovely video as always! So jealous of your snow 🙄🙄🥰🥰 Just to wish you and your partner a wonderful and peaceful Christmas and New Year. See you in 2024!❤❤❤xx
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 😀
Thank you for all you put into this channel - you're a breath of fresh air. I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your family. I try to keep it all as simple as possible and avoid all but the get-together with friends and family on Christmas day itself, if I can! This is my first Christmas without my mum, so that's hard to be honest.
Hello Molly. I’m relatively new to your channel, having discovered it only a few weeks ago, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it and everything you do. You’re a gentle moment in my day. 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
I have the same advent calendar! I love it, I also love the little QR codes and inspiration behind the teabags 😊 I’ll miss your vlogs, it’s one of the best things about my Sundays when they’re uploaded 🥰 Have a wonderful, restful Christmas ❤️
Hope you have a lovely Christmas break Molly ❤ I love spending time with family over Christmas but also going on nature walks and cosying up in the evenings with a book or film. Merry Christmas everyone xx
Enjoyed the walk through Inverness, one of my favorite cities, although the weather looks to be the same as in Toronto where I am. Really lovely advent calendar, I'll have to try to find one for my eldest daughter. I try to buy more 'experiential' gifts for my grandkids e.g. they both like pottery and art classes.
Thank you so much for sharing such cozy, serene loveliness with us. Wishing you and yours - and all here!- all the best this season and through the coming year.
Hi your hair looks so nice .we went to a christmas market too this week.i love going to them.hope you have a wonderful christmas .we buy new presents not too many but we put a few charity shop finds in to keep cost down .the cards were beautiful x
love your tips on having a slow Christmas, I'm really leaning into it this year and it's been such a joy (and less overwhelming in so many ways)! We usually tend to go for experiences instead of things and it definitely feels nicer to give this way x
Merry Christmas, Molly! 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 :)
Hi Molly, do you have certain mugs you prefer for certain drinks? And do you have any sort of stockpile in your tiny home, in case you get snowed in? I live in central Scotland and shattered my ankle at the start of October. I am still not mobile so my stockpile has taken a beating. Got me thinking about when we can't get out.
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 lovely Christmas. My husband and I don’t ‘do’ parties either. We spend our time walking our dogs and we both enjoy cooking.
You too!
Yeh that time in between is awkward 😊 I always can’t wait till January and put everything away and get on with life again 😂
Spotted you on the ferry - too shy to say hello. Have a lovely break :)
Aw I get that but please do say hi next time if you feel comfortable! :)
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
I'm so sorry for your loss lovely. I'm glad you are finding some comfort in my videos. Be kind to yourself x
I'm so sorry about your dog. It's really hard isn't it, when they're part of your family. 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.
Your hair looks lovely and fresh. Oh, I love the artwork. Think I'm going to pick up some myself.
I think you have a very nice friend to be willing to offer you alternative activities in recognition of your basic nature! As a fellow introvert and HSP, I always appreciate your down to earth, minimal approach to life. Have a lovely Christmas!
I am lucky enough to have some wonderful friends :)
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

I love a quick shop for greeting cards especially during the holidays. You found some gems 😊
As you shared this illustrator, it reminded me to mention Esther Bennink. Her work always reminds me of you. She is very lovely and I ordered from her multiple times. Insane good quality and absolutely beautiful art.
Oh thank you so much for the recommendation! :)
Have a lovely cozy and restful Christmas 🎄⛄
And you :)
We have the same Adventkalender!
Its the best!

I live in central Scotland and shattered my ankle at the start of October. I am still not mobile so my stockpile has taken a beating. Got me thinking about when we can't get out.
Yes, I like to vary my mugs and try and keep as full a pantry as possible! I hope you recover soon :)
Hair is lovely? Natural colour?
Thank you! Yes, I've never dyed it :)
Wish liked vegan milk but always has a twang to it?
New to your channel and I appreciate your content , Thanks !
