Hi! Merry Christmas!
December has this way of wrapping us in noise — school concerts, grocery runs, gift lists that grow overnight, and little ones beaming with excitement because something magical is coming. It’s a full season, beautiful but busy, and it can feel like the month is running faster than we are.
I created this month's box as a quiet interruption to all of that. A soft pause. A moment where you get to sip something warm, sneak a cookie, and remember what this season is actually rooted in.
Because long before the elves and the North Pole and the red suit, December was a celebration of Jesus’ birth — a moment of hope arriving in the gentlest way possible. A baby born in the quiet, changing the world. I love the stillness in that story. I love how it reminds us that small things can matter deeply.
And Santa? Even he started with kindness. The legend traces back to Saint Nicholas, a real bishop known for giving secretly and generously, especially to children and families in need. Over time, stories about his generosity grew, shifting and blending through different cultures until he became the jolly, joyful figure we know today. At the heart of it, though, he was simply someone who wanted to bless others in quiet ways.
I wanted to honour the simplicity of a Christmas hug, a Terry's chocolate the family broke together, and a family snack that everyone enjoys each year. No big declarations. Just tiny reminders of where we come from, who loved us first, and the recipes that stuck with us.
I hope that, in the swirl of December, you find a moment to sit still — even just one quiet minute — and feel connected again to your people, to your memories, to the small joys that make this season special.
Merry Christmas, Here’s to peace, warmth, and those sweet little pauses that make the month feel magical. 🎄
