Everyday Enchantment
The Sunday Pause 11/22/24.
There’s something about the turn of the seasons that makes me fall in love all over again with the simplest traditions we hold dear.
During our Holiday Magic Call this week, a community member shared a tradition that felt like pure magic: in their family, hot chocolate is only made on the days it snows.
After years of honouring this ritual, her children now anticipate those first snowflakes of the season—not just for the beauty of the snowfall itself, but because it also signals the warm, cozy delight of their first cup of cocoa. It’s a small thing, but it’s woven with so much love and meaning.
This time of year is likely brimming with simple traditions in your home too: buying new gloves, baking cookies, ice skating, snuggling up with. good book, gathering with loved ones, watching movies, decorating the tree or lighting the menorah. These small acts may feel ordinary, but they carry a quiet magic that becomes part of our family stories.
At the same time, the next week can feel especially overwhelming. Sales, promotions, and a chorus of voices urging us to buy more can make it hard to stay grounded. I’ve wrestled with how to approach Black Friday myself—on one hand, I want to resist the pull of consumerism. On the other, I know this is a key moment for small businesses like mine and an opportunity to make my work more accessible.
So, here’s my intention: over the next few days, I’ll share stories and reflections to help you reconnect with the enchantment in your everyday life this season. I’ll also be reminding you that the entire shop is 20% off from today through December 2nd—a small gesture to celebrate the season and share my work with you.
Hold close to what matters most this cosy Sunday.
Meagan.
