HOLIDAY SPECIAL

Pour a hot drink, snuggle up with your favourite treats, and join us for a cozy holiday special! A couple things to note from the hosts: - We chat Santa so be aware of little ears! - We recorded this episode virtually, so sound quality is a little lower than usual. - We are both sick and don't feel 100% but couldn't pass up the opportunity to send to out a holiday special to our lovely listeners. We hope you enjoy. Tara and Jess chat about all things from gifting, to their favourite holiday traditions. Are they pro real tree or fake tree? Who is the best at holiday decorating?! (Spoiler alert... it's Tara). How do we approach gift giving and doing acts of kindness this time of year? (Hands down Jess wins the award for kindest gestures.) Tune in to find out what traditions we each embrace! What do you celebrate at this time of year? Tell us your favourite or least favourite festive traditions in the comments. Sending all our love to anyone who struggles with the holiday season.

mini.chat: the concept of "hygge" and slowing down

In this mini.chat Jess shares with us the concept of Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) a danish word and tradition. "In brief, hygge is about taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures." Jess and Tara share different ways they are trying to care for themselves and find more joy during the winter months in Canada. Let us know in the comments what you do to slow down and find more joy, wherever you live! https://denmark.dk/people-and-culture/hygge Follow us on Instagram + TikTok + Threads here: @lettersforgirlspod Email us here: lettersforgirls.submissions@gmail.com Submit a letter completely anonymously: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://surveymars.com/q/eJcvFaRDy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://surveymars.com/q/eJcvFaRDy] Music from #Uppbeat ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/mark-july/today-is-the-day⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://uppbeat.io/t/mark-july/today-is-the-day] License code: PR8M0SMSX51KSUG9 #hygge #selfcare #theseasonofrest #maketimeforrest #winterincanada #canadianwinters
