LONDON—Harriet Sugarcookie, founder of men's lifestyle site Sugarcookie.com, wants to email with fans who are not celebrating Christmas with family and friends.
“Last year we got over 200 emails,” Sugarcookie writes in her latest article “Being Alone at Christmas”. “I think it's nice to know that there's at least one person out there that is thinking about you and hoping you're having a good day.”
In the piece, Sugarcookie urges fans to write to her at a specially-designated email address, [email protected].
“When I first did the open email Christmas thing 4 years ago, I didn’t have any expectations,” she writes. “The fact is, on Christmas day itself, I do very little … opening and responding to some emails sounded really easy.
“But the emails I got were so much more than I was expecting. I found out that out there, there are so many people who were going through the same thing I was,” she added. “That is, the had these feelings that they couldn’t let out or articulate properly.”
Sugarcookie also posted another article recently, How to Not be Alone at Christmas, where she defended the act itself —“there are a lot of people that want to be alone on Christmas,” reminding fans to enjoy the alone time.
“Try and remember the last time you really had a day of self-care,” she writes. “You could do whatever you liked, read a book, listen to music, have a bath and relax. You wouldn’t have to worry about being interrupted and you have a day to just do whatever you wanted.”
