Our stories today have us deep into holiday excitement in the Village. We’ll stop by the bookstore in Snow and Streetlights and pursue the shelves, sip some hot cocoa, and smile at the merriment in downtown. Then we’ll unwrap the buildings of the little Christmas village, plugging in their bulbs and arranging them on the tree skirt in Under the Tree. Finally, we’ll head out to the Inn, where they are getting ready for a week of guests. The mantle is decorated, and from the windows in the ballroom, you can see the ice spreading on the lake in The Innkeeper’s Holiday. Order your own NMH weighted pillow now! Follow us on Instagram!

Books, Skates, & Stars
Our stories today tip us into the first holiday tales of the season. We’ll start with Rainy Morning, a story about a good day to stay in bed and finish a good book, as well as looking forward to the next on the to-be-read list once the rain shifts to snow. Then we’ll visit with friends, step out into the fresh air, and risk a fall or two in Skating in the Park. Finally, we’ll pop some popcorn and snuggle on the couch as a special begins to play on the TV in Paper Stars. Order your own NMH weighted pillow now! Follow us on Instagram!

Thanksgiving Three Ways
Our stories today celebrate Thanksgiving in three different ways. We’ll start with Friendsgiving, rewriting the rules of tradition, and sharing food with a table full of friends as the sweet potato pies cool in the pantry. Then we’ll pack the car and head out in Over the River and Through the Woods. Cousins and dogs, a farmhouse kitchen with a dear aunt waiting to welcome you it. Finally, we’ll bundle up and walk into town to enjoy a perfect morning of floats and marching bands in At the Parade.

Cabin Stories
Our stories today are tales about a small A-frame cabin deep in the woods. We’ll visit it as fallen leaves gather in piles around the garden, then further into autumn when chill rain begins to fall, and finally a winter visit with the first deep snow of the season. We’ll spark a fire in the grate, choose a jigsaw puzzle from the stack in the closet, eat well, and sleep deep. Unwind in mind and body with the Quiet Mind x Nothing Much Happens Weighted Pillow!
