162. Cozy Christmas Episode: Handmade Gifts, Family Traditions, Savoring the Season | Nicole of Frontier Dreams

If you are craving that cozy, sacred feeling that comes along with the Christmas season, you will definitely want to join Nicole and me for this conversation about all things cozy Christmas.  On her Instagram, Nicole shares so beautifully about the creativity and joy of living a simple, homemade life.  In this conversation, we chat all about making the most out of these colder months and the winter holidays– what we do on long evenings at home, how we celebrate Christmas with our families, what we are excited about in the kitchen.  Nicole has a wealth of ideas for unique family traditions surrounding Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, and more.   I know this episode will get your wheels turning about new ways to celebrate the season in your own home, just like it did for me.

In this episode, we cover:

- Simple and affordable handmade Christmas ideas for children and adults

- A few details you can add to easily elevate a handmade gift

- How we approach gift giving within our own families

- Incorporating handmade gifts into holiday traditions

- Ideas for Christmas traditions that help your family slow down and savor the season

- Nicole and her family’s plans for going off-grid next year

- Learning new skills over the winter months by reading both fiction and nonfiction

- Creative ways to embrace winter with your family even if you don’t enjoy the cold weather

- Favorite seasonal foods and winter recipes
