Did you have an advent calendar when you were a kid? My mom would buy one every year and during the month of December, I always looked forward to opening up a window each morning before school.
When I became a mom, I made a hanging calendar out of fabric with 24 pockets. Inside each one was a little note for my girls. One of their favorite little “gifts” was getting to eat dessert first for dinner. A bigger treat was heading to the city for either a museum visit, the Nutcracker ballet, or dinner at a fancy restaurant.
Wise Goddess, check below for a simple December calendar to enjoy. It is filled with small self-care ideas to gift your amazing self each day through Dec 24th. Hopefully, this helps you gain moments of peace and serenity during the hectic holidays. And allow yourself to experience less “Grinchy” moments as the year winds down!
No pressure to make sure every day gets done, Wise Goddess. The point is to take time during what for many is a hectic month and nurture yourself. If you are loving the calendar, consider taking 7 of your favorite days and finishing the year with them!
Happy Holidays to wonderful you and all the important peeps in your life!
