Unpopular opinion: I’m just not that into Christmas
In particular, gifts - why (and how) we opted out. Happy holidays!
Hi! This is Leyla from A Day Well Spent, a newsletter seeking pathways to more purposeful living.
Here’s what landed in subscriber inboxes the past couple of weeks:
I share the simple practices and natural remedies that I believe have kept me cold free for a year in how to not catch a cold
Discussing the life skill that is cognitive reframing
I wrote about why I don’t consume any news and haven’t done for four years - it resonated with a lot of people
We talked about how we sleep and shared our tips for doing it well

For most of the year, I go by the name of Leyla. But from approximately the middle of November when the tinsel takeover begins, until the sweet release of that strange but welcome liminal downtime between Christmas and New Year, you will also find me responding to Grinch and Scrooge (Ebenezer and/or McDuck).
The last month of the year starts tomorrow (which also happens to be A Day Well Spent’s 6 month anniversary 🎈) and it is this moment – collectively perched on the precarious precipice of unfettered festive madness – that I think it’s about time I shared with you, dear reader, that I’m just not that into Christmas.
