Thank you for the healthy, freeing reminder ... I have noticed that I get panic attacks when I try to be too normal. I mean to say, when I try too hard to live up to what I think other people expect of me... What is important for me this Christmas is to create a fairytale Christmas, one that feels like a real fairytale world with little bells, acorns and fairy songs. I guess everyone needs to find out what their fairytale Christmas contains, but for me it needs to feel magical within. Happy winter solstice! (soon!) and a magical Christmas to you!

" it's ok if people are disappointed. People can handle being disappointed." This is deeply profound.

7:39am here in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. Sitting quietly with a warm cuppa coffee in hand. The warmth of the fireplace and the stillness around me is so comforting. There will be 25 of us here today. All of my grown children, their partners, and their children (my grandchildren) will be celebrating Christmas early. We choose to do this every year as they all have so much travelling to do on Christmas Day. I choose not to add the stress of having to come see us as well. We don’t do gifts to each other any longer. We donate to a local non profit. We play games. We eat and celebrate and enjoy a stress free gathering. This has become our all time favourite celebration of family, love, and peacefully full hearts. Will it get noisy and boisterous? Most definitely! But the smiles warm my heart, the laughter fills my souls, and being together is what makes this season so magical. Wishing you and your family warm greetings, a magical Christmas of your own, peace in your hearts, and unconditional love 🎄❄️💙 Merry Christmas

I think one of the easiest ways to take pressure off is to let go of expectations. So many times we want things to go a certain way and it puts other people under pressure, too. And then we tend to get hurt or angry if things don’t go the way we expected. I think accepting the ebb and flow of family life as families grow is important through the holidays.

So so important Rachel… I always have to remember that one. Especially with my hubby ☺️🤗

This year we've told everyone absolutely NO gift giving, including our grandchildren. It's getting increasingly more difficult to buy for people who already have houses bulging at the seems with 'stuff' and children who have every toy going. So, this year we've put our foot down. It's also Summer here in NZ, so we typically forgo Christmas celebrations and celebrate the Summer Solstice by packing a picnic and getting right away into the wilds to have a quiet day in nature. Hubby will take his fishing rod, I'll take a book and soak up the peace and calm. It's a perfect way to spend Christmas day and we feel no guilt whatsoever at not joining in with big noisy xmas days. Oh and....ditching social media....Best. Thing. Ever. Blessings x

I watch my renovated reclaimed bird feeding house, everyone picking and chatting in there, even the doves find it lovely. The house is ready for Christmas, I’ll be working on Christmas, but I’ll have time in front of the fireplace, the carols, maybe get my old flute and play and sing a bit for the holy child. My mantlepiece is decorated with a 20 year old garland and little lights, I gave most of my decorations away and keep it simple now. Home made Christmas biscuits and cake, also for the elderly and dependant clients of mine, I love to share some of my german traditions at this time of the year here in France. But there are mincepies, too, and the classic 13 desserts of France, mostly dried fruit and nuts, and mulled wine. We’ll have a peaceful New year, I’ll have 3 days off with à bit more time to rest and contemplate then. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Hello from Brazil. Here it's summer time, lots of sunlight and blue skies. Since I'm pregnant, it was essential to let go the pressure, calm down and take it slowly. The pregnancy itself is a teaching moment of body respect and priorities. I have learned so much this year. Now I'm living each moment of each day, because overthinkig the future can lead to ansiety. So, as a cristian, i put it all in the hand of the Lord, hoping for the best and trusting his love. My baby may be born in the next 2 or 3 weeks. But right now, I'm perfectly happy feelig his movements, having him with me. The internet is full of information and I have read a lot, but now, I'm choosing to live each day, with its little pains and joys.

This year I had to have emergency spine surgery. So we didn’t get the decorations up until this last Tuesday. We took it easy. Only put up the tree and the stockings. Left the villages and garland for next year. Very light on presents as there is nothing we need. Ordered from the bakery all the breads and fun baked goods since I am unable to be in the kitchen cooking and baking away. That’s ok. I ordered plenty of food and treats. We will be ok! We have a warm roof over our head for this upcoming storm this weekend. Food in the house and plenty of wine! What more can we ask for except to be all together safe and sound. That’s perfect for me! ❤

Hello from a small island off the coast of southern Rhode Island in The United States. 23 years ago my husband and I made the decision to live a more authentic and calmer life. We left our corporate jobs, bought a small business and moved to a small island. Recently it got even better as we sold our business and retired. We have been practicing simple abundance and gratitude. You are so right so slow down and pair back. Taking away the pressure of conforming to outside pressure is a gift we can give to ourselves. It’s lovely to hear a see a young woman grasping these concepts. It took my husband a little longer however since we have everything has slowed down. Thank you for sharing your beautiful fairy cottage and happy solstice.

I love the little princess tower to the window to watch the birds!! She is precious. People have forgotten what this time of year is about and thus stress themselves out, not over meaning of the day, but what the commercial industry has set aside as what it should be and most people buy (literally and figuratively) into this time and year and thus stress. Remember what this time of year is about, drop the rest and destress....

I wear many hats in the school where I have taught for the past 36 years… the hats seem to get bigger at this time of the year. While I find Christmas in the school system requires extra energy, it is very heartwarming and fulfilling to create special experiences for young people, many of whom rely on school to make this time of the year fun and memorable. In my sewing classes we made really fancy aprons for gifts. We also made sock snowmen and fabric yoyo mini Christmas trees which was very creative and relaxing. Now-a-days most students do not have sewing or crafting supplies in their homes so I try to go the extra mile to provide materials and supplies for relaxing crafty projects in the classroom. The highlight, for me, is when they want to model their apron and their decorations for a photo in the classroom… this is very rewarding. The Winter Break has started now and I am unwinding with my own crafty projects at home. It’s -25ºc outside here in the wilderness of northern 🇨🇦. It’s a good day to be indoors and enjoying a slow morning. Thanks for this charming video today Niamh. Enjoy the Winter Solstice, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

What a lucky little fairy to live in such a beautiful place 🧚‍♀️ 💗. She is precious. I love this uplifting channel. I'm so glad you are back.

When my oldest son was 3 years old (he's 37 now), we spent one morning laying on our stomachs and watching the squirrels and birds at our (numerous) feeders! I kept thinking to myself, "I should be doing the dishes and tidying the house!" But no! We were mesmerized by the wee creatures! What a precious memory!

I just loved this. I had the same mental clarity this year. My husband and I decided to forego multiple unnecessary Christmas parties, and to get fewer Christmas presents, to buy/make those presents early, and to decorate our house much earlier. It is so much more sustainable for me and for the first time in 5 years, I have enjoyed the holiday season so much. Thank you for sharing this message in an over busy world! ❤

I have cut back on the decorations this year. I have crocheted some baubles for the Christmas tree. crochet is my mental health care. My son loves telling people mummy made them! No chocolates on the tree this year for the first time and no one is missing them and my little boy will be gifted plenty.

My husband and I have taken the pressure off by deciding not to give or receive gifts except for the little ones in our family. We have also started a new tradition that we hope to continue, which is going on a walk, collecting sticks and using them to make the star for the top of the tree. And similar to you Niamh, we have kept our decorations to a minimum!

We have learned to simplify at Christmas by having minimal decorations, just a little tree indoors and a nice wreath outside on the fence. One nice cake for Christmas dessert instead of loads of baking and sweets. No Christmas cards sent out except for out of province family. There is no stress with simplifying and focusing on what is important, time with family and reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas whatever that means to you. Wishing you, Terry, and your little fairy, peace & joy this holiday season🎄❄️💕

Agree, take it all in with the little ones because you can't go back and retrieve lost moments.

Thank you - I just love your beautiful videos. You are such a wonderful, natural Mum to your little Fairy. The look out tower that your husband built for her, is such a brilliant idea. The fact that she loves watching the birds, instead of the tv, shows what a nature loving fairy she is, thanks to her parents. I spent my Christmas's alone, with my rescue black greyhound Madge, and it is a time that I think of all the folk that have gone before, so is quite a sad time for me, I must be truthful. But I do watch a bit of tv, and love seeing real life folk enjoying themselves, I live my life through them I suppose. I also watch a lot of you tube channels, and find them very healing. I am just so thankful that I am still here, and hope that I can help others, because that brings me great joy.

A couple of things I've done to take the pressure off around this time of year (after having children) is I bought cloth bags to "wrap" gifts in.

Love apples! I am using this week to slow down and give myself time to renew me and to worship - it's Christ-mas. I did 2 outreach parties for kids. Very special. Been feeling now, though, that I just need to be alone. Solitude. Love the calm at Fairyland.

Every video you make is a piece of calmness in my soul ! ! When we just let things go with the flow i think takes all the pressure away! Wishing all the best for New Year !!!!

I like to see you quietly piling up your daily routine.That is peaceful, warm and beautiful it.calms me down.Also, I respect your sustainable and simple housework. Have a Christmas with the sweet honey fairy and the perfect family.🌲

Hi … I am visiting daughter and family in Phoenix, Az. It is a very busy family. I live in Florida with a much slower life style. I love my a very quiet life, but of course never miss my visits with the grandkids. A very Merry Christmas.🎄🎄

Wonderful video, living the simple life is the way to go. Always watching in Arizona..

It's not about what we've done, but literally WHO we are. What our presence radiates.

Hello FairyFolks ! I did not know you had a Green House....wonderful. Just want to say we do not Celebrate Christmas in December. I believe this time of year is when Mary was visited by Gabriel with the Annunciation. A little.different, but we are still celebrating, just with a different thought process. p.s. I wish you could have been my Mom. Blessings to you and yours.....

You said “ life is incredibly precious”. Yes, it certainly is. I acknowledge that every day as I wake up and watch the sunrise. Thank you❤

Sitting by the fire with a fur baby at my feet, all are sleeping and now it’s time I start the water for tea and coffee. Thank you for posting, your stories are inspiring.

I knit a pair of mitten's for my grandson, from left over wool, relaxing craft! Also making the main Christmas day meal a brunch rather than having two big meals. Cuts down on a lot of work! Happy Christmas to you and your little one!

I really couldn't agree more with you, dear Niamh. Especially during this time of the year everything gets so hectic even though it is supposed to slow down. Everything has to get done, everything needs to be finished, we need to be everywhere at the same time. Sometimes it is important to listen to our own needs and just say no. A couple of years ago I started taking a long weekend off the week before Christmas - the most unusual time of the year to do this. I would book a nice trip to some quiet, remote location and just find calm and peace while the outside world is rushing past. So guess where I am right now, sipping a cup of hot tea while watching your video 💕 In fact, in my latest video I touched on very similar topics because I feel many people need to hear this 💕 Sending much love from very cold and snowy Germany to green Ireland ❤

Awh how lovely Liz… wise actions to serve you and the world in turn ❤

I recently had the same realization as your friend. All the special things I did with and for my children when they were young, they did not even remember. It made me feel so stupid for making such a big deal about trying to go to special places and do special things. Those memories are mine alone, and I guess that’s okay. But, if I could do it all again, I wouldn’t have worked so hard at giving my young children certain experiences that they later would not remember. I’m glad you’re realizing that right away and not stressing over those kinds of things. Have a happy Christmas and new year. ❤

My life is filled with homemade Christmas and still putting up food. Citrus is plentiful and cranberries too. Sewing and knitting, keeping the wood stove going, and trying to keep the whole enjoyment of the beauty all around me in mind. Your stars are lovely! My old boss, whom I adore, told me I’d be starkers bored a few months after I retired…oh how wrong she was! There’s so much I can do…I have to rein myself in!

This was absolutely lovely and so relaxing to watch. Thank you!🙏🏻🎈

So beautiful to see your little one watching nature through the window while you are doing your chores. Watching nature is so calming and learn so much. Life is so simple and beautiful the choice is up to us ❤

It really is up to us eh ❤

Beautiful and peaceful 💛 I've slowed down a lot this year, and especially this time of year, I'm sat with some simple decorations, a lovely warm fire, just knitting quietly. I'm very grateful for this slow, quiet moment 💛 sending all my love to your beautiful family 💛 have a wonderful festive season

I keep the pressure off by focusing on the real meaning of Christmas - the birth of Christ, not over-decorating, and staying away from the stores.

Thank you for a wonderful visit. Happy Holiday to you and your Family. May God Bless you all in the new year

This video really spoke to me. I've been through a lot lately - this year, but most especially this last month. A friend told me it was all a sign that I need to slow down. I agree but I am having to work on figuring out how to do that while working full time. As such, the holidays are going to be very minimal for me this year as well. I had planned to travel to see my family, but because of recent events, I'm not going anywhere. Just having a nice quiet holiday at home with my little family. Thank you for your videos. I especially love seeing your "little fairy" grow and explore. 🥰

Oh friend, this was so beautiful. I love the little one's laugh!! :) Give her and Terry a hug from me. :)

So good to hear your sweet voice and to see your baby growing🤗❤️🥰

I don t think so

Hello I’m so amazing to see your beautiful and calming video this year I’m taking so slow I been injured since September until now just praying 🙏 to get stronger and put my mind in the right spot to be more positive and thankful what I have my Christmas this year is been more quite and very simple but I really like it this way I leave in USA when everything has to be big and more and I realize that’s not for me I wish you and your family a special Christmas 🎄 😊and a healthy new year from the bottom of my heart thank you 🙏 so much to bring me more peace

This video hits differently, and I want to thank you for it. Maybe it's the timing, maybe it's the content and what you talk about in it, but It feels like it helps me find my core. Slow down and think about what really matters. I'm in a rather bad place, my whole life right now could be compared to scattered pieces of a puzzle - but for a moment this video helped to bring some of these pieces together. Thank you.

Yes I agree with you... we shouldn't get caught in the commercial hype of Christmas. Enjoy being with your family.

Keep it simple and letting go the pressure on you, is perfect. It is what I want for this christmas time, to do little things and feel no pressure for one side or another. Little things like look at the sky, look at birds and green grass. How nice to teach the little human being to contemplate birds better than TV. or to look at fireplace and meditate with flames. Thank you for sharing this still place. I also live in a village close to mountains a priviledge and get used to silence, never sufficiently appreciated. These videos have something of that silence and stillness. keep going. thanks

I have also been making Christmas cards by cutting up old ones! Another sustainable thing I have done this year is to buy quite a few secondhand gifts from charity shops. Really enjoy your videos, have a lovely Christmas with your family.

Your hose has the right amount of decorations. It looks great. Little Fairy sure is getting bigger. Love her tower what a great idea. Happy New Year

Merry Christmas! This year I began our celebrations slowly and earlier than usual...and I've been more purposeful about what we have done to celebrate. We've slowed things down and 'really' experienced the goodness.

The lights and decorations are some of my favorite aspects of the holiday season.

Came back this year to watch this wonderful video again!

Awh so nice! I’m watching it now too to remind myself ❤😅

So beautiful, so soothing. Your videos are such a blessing. So very calming to ones nervous system. Holiday blessings to you, your family & all on this beautiful planet we reside on. In grateful appreciation. Liliane

I also made a toilet roll star/snowflake this year. Another use for toilet paper rolls. Roll up a clump of waste paper (I use old documents and bills instead of shredding them, or old brown paper bag bits) for good fire starters under other kindling. Also, they make good cutworm collars on brassicas in the garden if you have a problem with cutworms.
