A few days before the holidays

Do you ever look back on the days just before Christmas and realize how quietly special they were? 🎄🍷

A few days before the holidays,
Alex, my mom, and I went out for dinner at @gretzkyestates .

Nothing rushed.
Just good food, easy conversation,
and that calm that settles in right before everything ramps up.

Now that Christmas has passed
and we’re in that reflective space between holidays,
those in-between moments stand out even more —
after the prep, before the chaos,
when time together feels simple and unforced.

A familiar place,
a quiet night out,
and time with the people who matter most.

Do you have a spot you love visiting in those slower moments around the holidays?
👇 I’d love to hear.
