Things You Can Unsubscribe From This Christmas
Rest-mas Day 10 • A gentle reminder for overwhelmed mums this December 🤍
Christmas looks different in every home. Some families go all-out. Others keep things simple. Many of us land somewhere in between, trying to hold the magic together while staying afloat.
This isn’t a guide on what you should or shouldn’t do. It’s simply a permission slip:
You are allowed to unsubscribe from the pressure to do it all.
Your Christmas will still be meaningful. Your children will still feel loved. Your home will still be magical even if you simplify.
1. The pressure to give your kids the ‘perfect’ Christmas
The magic isn’t in the perfection, it’s in the warmth, the connection, the small moments.
2. Doing every Christmas task alone
The emotional labour of the season doesn’t have to land on one set of shoulders.
3. Saying yes to every Christmas event
Your peace matters too. You’re allowed to choose rest over rushing.
4. Buying gifts for every teacher, coach, neighbour & cousin
Thoughtfulness doesn’t have to lead to overwhelm.
5. December 1st baskets + gift-heavy advent calendars
Simple traditions or none at all can be just as magical.
6. Feeling like you need new decorations every year
Your home doesn’t need a fresh aesthetic to feel festive.
7. Going all-out with Elf on the Shelf
Simple setups. Pure fun. Zero pressure. (Your kids will still squeal when they find the elf.)
A final reminder…
You don't need to subscribe to every trend, tradition or expectation for Christmas to feel special.
Choose what serves you.
Release what doesn’t.
Your version of Christmas is enough, because you are enough.
Looking Ahead to the New Year
If you’re craving a softer start to 2026…
If you want your bedroom to feel like a sanctuary again…
If you’re ready to put yourself back on your own list…
We’re now in the final 5 days of December pre-orders.
Begin 2026 rested.
Create the calm you give everyone else.
