Ready to squeeze in one more festive event this December? Perfect — the Lydia sisterhood is hosting a virtual Christmas party where yesterday’s jumpers or cosy pyjamas aren’t just welcome, they’re the (unofficial) dress code.
This glorious December Zoom-room will bring together Estonian women from every corner of the globe — the heritage-keen, the heritage-curious, and everyone in between.
Why join?
Because it’s the one Christmas party where:
- your sisters will be there welcoming you with open arms
- nobody cares if your kid wants to wave at the screen 17 times
- pets are unofficial co-hosts (and nobody tells you they’re allergic)
- time zones make glögi at 9am totally respectable
- you might finally learn how other Estonians tackle the question “seapraad or verivorst?” (Pork roast or blood sausage? No brainer, the correct answer is both!)
- Plus, this session builds beautifully on the July gathering of the sisters — only now with added holiday chaos, cheer and unforgettable storytelling.
What’s on the festive menu?
- Estonian Christmas traditions — from the nostalgic to the slightly questionable
- return-to-Estonia tales — featuring Lisa Trei’s big move from California (spoiler: very inspiring)
- handy resources — language learning tips & Integration Foundation support
- future ideas — because the sisterhood has great ideas and big plans.
And don’t worry — it’s all in English, with Estonian language goodies for anyone wanting to flex their õ, ä, ö, ü muscles.

Come as you are
This is your easy, cosy, safe-est-space-ever hour to laugh, listen, share stories and feel just a little more connected to the bigger Estonian sisterhood — whether you live in Tallinn, Brisbane, Toronto or somewhere with more kangaroos than people.
Can’t make it? A written recap will be sent out (no recording — they respect chaotic household aesthetics).
Please share this invite with any Estonian women who might enjoy a warm, welcoming, expertly chaotic virtual Christmas hug. The more, the merrier — literally. 🎄✨
