some dusty snow. helping the outdoors look as cold as it was.

tis the time of year to wish I had a wood-burning fire to keep warm by.
and to enjoy warm wool and hot cups of coffee. having reasons to warm up the oven and bake.

and I loved this shelf of winking & smiling santas.

I think I'm done with finding presents. so now I can just try and appreciate the sentiment of the season. a time to gather & a time to give. with hopefully little drama & chaos.
