The "Like a Kid on Christmas" zine accompanies the third iteration of the Harsh Holiday Bazaar at Harsh Collective. As the year comes to an end and the holiday season kicks off, emotions often run high. Between family dynamics, travel, social pressure, and the waning sunlight, what is often called the most wonderful time of the year undeniably has its share of stressors for many of us. So—how can we hold space for delight and dread simultaneously? The "Like a Kid on Christmas" zine invites us to reflect on the childlike adorations, traditions, and creative spark that shaped us—and how we can rediscover that joy when it may feel lost today.⁠
