when christmas isn’t very merry

when christmas isn’t very merry

christmas isn't always the most wonderful time of the year, and on this episode of live a little, nikki is getting real about the two sides of christmas - the magical, nostalgic side vs the heavy, complicated reality that so many actually experience. nikki is opening up about how christmas used to be her favourite time of year as a kid (hello argos catalogue and santa tracker!), but how health trauma and life's complications have made it feel more like survival than celebration. she talks about the pressure to perform happiness when you're not feeling it and why days like christmas can feel so much heavier when you're just not okay. she's also unpacking why it's okay to not love christmas, why "just be grateful" is actually really damaging to hear, and how she's learning to make winter feel a bit lighter through small things. this one's for anyone who's ever felt like they're bringing the mood down just by existing, or who's masking their way through a day that's supposed to be “the happiest time of year”. don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes every thursday!
