This event is for Friday, December 18 with an arrival time of 4:30 and ends on Saturday, December 19 around 5pm. 
 
Remember when Christmas morning felt like pure magic? When someone else did the work, the air smelled like cinnamon and pine, and you just believed? The Classic Christmas Retreat brings that feeling back—without the chaos, the family drama, or the early-morning wrapping marathon.
 
Join us for two days of cozy indulgence at The Northwest Nest, where we’ll trade consumer frenzy for connection, tradition, and a touch of winter witchcraft. Arrive early afternoon to settle in before our candlelit Christmas feast. Craft your own Yuletide wishing ball for the community tree, sing both the classic carols and their pagan counterparts, and leave out cookies for the spirits that guide the season (Santa included).
 
Wake to a full Christmas morning—stockings, hot drinks, and five thrifted gifts waiting just for you (we’ll have you send your wishlist ahead of time). Once the ribbons are torn and the joy has sunk in, the day turns merry and mischievous: mulled wine, spiked nog, games, and favorite holiday movies by the fire.
 
No shopping. No stress. Just the childlike wonder of winter, reclaimed through ritual, laughter, and a little holiday magic.
