How does this season actually feel for you this year? It was ok until I found out that a friend of mine tried to kill herself back in November.
❄️ What is one thing on your "holiday to-do list" that you still need to do? Are there things you can let go of? I send email cards to penpals on Christmas eve.
❄️ What is one tiny, specific thing (a certain scent, a song, a specific mug) that has made it feel like the holidays this week? thinking about attending christmas eve at the Vatican online.

Tiring. A little scary. I’m nervous about how I’ll physically hold up with all the travel 😅

I had a surgery, but attempted to get ahead with presents already purchased mostly. It feels surreal and restful this year, and unscheduled days are different. It feels a little off.
I just have to rest mostly. Put up stockings and get something to fill them with... Maybe coal!
The snow ❄️, cold, a warm jacket, soup, and hot drinks all make the holidays feel like they are here.

I love this time of the year.
We have fifteen people for Christmas dinner, so I have to still do food shopping and get the turkey.
Deliver presents.
It's hectic but I'm good 💚
I always feel a little nostalgic though, missing people who are no longer here 💚
On Christmas eve I like to light a candle, it's a tradition we have, so if a stranger passes by and sees the light, they feel less alone 💚
I like to light white candles for loved ones who have passed 💚
The scents of Christmas for me are of apple, cinnamon, mulled wine.
I like the magic of Christmas 🎄

This season is mostly about studies since i have my exams coming up.
This year the biggest thing is a pre-New Year clean and some shopping. Donating or selling stuff I dont use and cleaning up stuff. And yes I could rremove a lot of stuff I dont use
As for a scent, my new apricot bodywash. It has a warm homey scent even though its not a traditional Christmas scent

1. I have decided to let go of traumas and the abuse of the face and face the pain in my present

its not a thing, but i would say reconnecting with some old friends did the trick for me!

The smell of pine and evergreen trees 🌲

One thing on my holiday to-do list that I haven't gotten to yet is wrapping presents. This isn't really a chore to me, I love wrapping presents chosen with care in pretty paper and tying shiny ribbons and bows. I'll make an evening out of it with a holiday movie on in the background.
The other chore I haven't gotten to is getting the last ingredients for the holiday meal. I'm simplifying things a little this year so I'm not cooking the entire day.
