Merry early Christmas, folks! What’s your favourite Christmas tradition + more interestingly, have you always had it or is it a new one? Swipe to see what I’m starting to think is a Miya tradition of her own…
I didn’t grow up celebrating Christmas - it was quite possible for Xmas to come and go without needing to even say a single “Merry Christmas” or “happy holidays”. But it’s the season my husband celebrates the most, so I’ve adopted it! And excitingly, it means all Xmas traditions are relatively new to me!
One Xmas tradition I’ve unintentionally developed over the last few years is to build my own Christmas decor, using fresh green materials that I pick up from the flower market - and then taking Miya’s yearly Xmas photos with the results! This year, I’ve made multiple Xmas wreaths. Part of the tradition is to choose the most aromatic greens in the flower market. Then, I really lose myself in the building process - my fingers getting sticky with fragrant sap; the scents of crushed pine, fir, juniper, eucalyptus and citrus; the visual detail as I slowly build my wreaths; immersing myself for hours that I don’t notice disappearing. I also don’t hang them up outside my home - they don’t survive so well in our heat outdoors. So they go up indoors, and I always lean in to take deep breaths as I’m walking past them in my home!
And in case it’s not clear….can I call Miya being sleepy on the job a tradition?!

Wow what a gorgeous job! It's fun to add traditions to your life as you get older or to build your own tradition with your husband!
