This is everything I never knew I always needed (modified WHMS). The turning off the Christmas lights every night made me feel so seen. This feels like the most beautiful reminder and softest permission this season. You are gloriously talented Hannah. Thank you!
Hannah you have summed this up so beautifully 🩷 I know so many people that struggle through the Christmas period and this has made me understand that so much more.
Also, could it be a podcast?? or please tell me you’ve written a book!
My drop everything read -- Hannah you describe your thoughts on this time of year so well and poetically. It truly is a treat to read your writing each week. Sending everyone so much love this holiday season (I am spending it alone for the first time ever and trying to appreciate the little joys of the season instead of being a Scrooge about it). So excited to hear about whatever it is you have in store for us!
“Magic is formed not by the flit of a wand, but by many, many hours of thoughtful, careful work”—YES. And that’s part of the beauty of it, too, I think (and applicable to so much more than the holidays!). I really love this piece and will be saving it to read again.
