An Advent Calendar to take care of yourself

I have always loved Advent calendars. As a child, I remember having a very thin calendar with a tiny chocolate inside. Back then (yes, I sound a bit like a grandma’), there were no elaborate, grand calendars, and we all had pretty much the same.

Nowadays, there are calendars for every taste, and I find them both great and too much. In my everyday life, I love minimalism and prioritizing experiences over possessing many things we ultimately don’t need.

However, as an adult, mom, homeschooler, illustrator, etc…. I need time! I need moments for myself, not necessarily long moments, but moments to recharge. So, this Advent calendar is the perfect opportunity. I could have also called it: The Ultimate Survival Calendar before Christmas or How not to succumb to chaotic stress before the holidays but that title was a bit too long…

The Advent calendar I created last year was very focused on well-being and the spirit of Christmas. This year, I wanted to make a slightly more neutral calendar. All versions are available in French and English as a free download.

And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I’ve also prepared a Solstice version for you.

I wish you a wonderful holiday season. Take care of yourselves, breathe, and remember that the most important thing is not what you think. The most important thing is the moment itself ✨
