Hi! I’m Katie, and I’m a cultural and social psychologist—but you can think of me as your BFF with a PhD. Here at psychologie, I typically reserve hands-on activities for my paid subscribers. For a limited time this holiday season, I’m excited to share this advent calendar with you—24 days of mental health-boosting activities, completely free! I hope it brings you joy. If you enjoy it, consider becoming a paid subscriber to receive more hands-on psychological tools and activities well beyond the holidays. Thank you so much for being here.


Welcome to Day 9 of A December of Delight, a digital (and secular) advent calendar to help you unplug from the noise, ease seasonal stress, and create a December that's defined by you.

Few things transport us back to the simplicity of childhood as quickly as the taste of a favorite treat.

Whether it’s a flaky pastry, a gooey chocolate chip cookie, or a handful of colorful candies, these nostalgic nibbles carry with them the warmth of simpler times.

Today, we’re indulging in a childhood favorite, but with a twist—serving it up as though you’re savouring it in a chic Parisian café.


*The following is a hands-on activity created exclusively for paid subscribers. If you’d like to gain access to hands-on activities and exercises that accompany psychologie articles, please consider being a paid subscriber. Thank you!
