December 28, 2024

The week between Christmas and New Year’s, with its unstructured days and dreamlike quality, can feel at times like wandering into Narnia—where time seems to pause and ordinary rules don’t quite apply. I used to pull away from it, dreading the “what day is it?” and “shouldn’t we be doing something?” moments. But over the past few years, I’ve started leaning into this in-between time. It’s become a season for lingering: being creative, reading, or just hanging out together. Simply being.

Before we know it, this magical, untethered week will be gone, and we’ll find ourselves back in the rhythm of structure and schedules. But for now, I’m savoring the pause.
