Day 1: Light One Candle and Let the Season Begin

There’s something beautiful about the first quiet moment of December — before the to-do lists kick in, before we get lost in the rush. Today is about honoring that beginning. One candle, one deep breath, one small pause to welcome the season with intention.

Find a candle that feels like “home” — maybe balsam, vanilla, or the soft glow of unscented beeswax. Light it slowly. Let the room shift. And while that flame flickers, ask yourself a simple question:

“What kind of holiday season do I want this to be?”

Not the Pinterest-perfect version. The real one — the one your heart wants.

Maybe you want calm mornings. Maybe you want more family connection. Maybe you want fewer purchases and more memories. Maybe you want a little sparkle because this year has felt heavy.

There’s no wrong answer. This is your season.

Let the candle burn for a few minutes and let the warmth remind you:
You get to choose how this month feels.

Conclusion (Day 1)

Today isn’t about productivity — it’s about presence. When you choose your season intentionally, everything else becomes simpler, calmer, more meaningful.
