The short days and long nights of winter were spent fortifying mind and body, gathering with friends and family around the fire, riding out the freezing temperatures until the beginnings of Spring.
Today, this instinct for quiet restoration and alignment with nature, is at odds with the busy holiday season of modern living. Instead of cozy days spent close to home and keeping warm indoors, we are besieged by crowded stores, social and professional obligations, and the pressures of gift-giving. And we all know how much of this pressure falls on women to accommodate expectations for Christmas and other holiday events.

One way to slow down and simplify is to create a ritual or routine in which we, as women, intentionally make space for ourselves. This time could be used to enjoy a hot mug of tea, meditate, write in a journal, watch a classic movie, read a book, or do something we love that is not dependent on productivity, but passion. Something just for us.

Laurentian Chief’s indoor moccasins are the perfect slippers for this.

This holiday season, give yourself - or an equally well-deserving woman in your life - the gift of quiet time, and the space to be still, even just for a few moments. Take inspiration from the sleeping trees and hibernating woodland creatures at this time of year. These beautiful, fur- trimmed moccasin slippers are like a promise we make to ourselves, and we owe it to ourselves to keep it.
