Sensing the Season

Bright lights shining around our home, a lit-up tree glowing from the living room, greenery everywhere, brown paper packages under the tree--our house looks like Christmas already

Christmas music in the car and at home, whispers of present planning, squeals of excitement as kids go on overload--we can hear the holiday coming

smells of a fire from one of the neighbors, peppermint cookies and mulled apple cider--some of my favorite scents of the season

pumpkin and ginger snaps, eggnog and Joe-Joes--our taste buds are only getting warmed up

cozy flannel sheets; snug wool socks; a warm, soft blanket; a warm, soft child leaning on each side--it's snuggling season, during stories, movies, and bedtime
