I don’t know about you, but to me, this year feels different. Costs are up across the board—groceries, energy, gifts… even the little holiday traditions don’t feel “little” anymore. 😅
A lot of families are feeling the weight of higher bills and new tariffs driving up prices on clothing,electronics, toys, and even everyday things like coffee and olive oil.
If this season feels a bit heavier for you too, you’re not alone. 🫂
Here’s what helps me to stay grounded: flexible travel dates, experiences over things, hand-written cards or DIY gifts, honest conversations about budgets, and not guilt tripping myself.
The magic was never in the price tag anyway. ✨
