Christmas in July 2025 - Day 24

 

🎄 CIJ Day 24 – Cozy Reading Nook for the Holidays

It’s almost the end of our Christmas in July series, and today is all about creating a cozy holiday reading nook — a peaceful spot to curl up with a book, a blanket, and maybe a hot drink too.

You don’t need a whole room — just a quiet corner with a comfy chair, a pillow, and a few wintery touches.

🪑 What to Include:

• A cozy chair or bench

• A warm blanket or throw

• A small side table or basket for books

• A holiday pillow or soft lighting (like a lamp or fairy lights)

Add a holiday book or your favorite winter novel and you’ve got your very own Christmas reading corner.

It’s perfect now with a summery iced coffee — and even better come December with cocoa and slippers!
