It is warm and cozy season.
...Or, echoing my post title (auf Deutsch), "warm und gemütlich Saeson." That's what I like to call Winter. This is the time when you can sit by the fire and look out the window and be content with the crackle of the wood and a pile of wrapping paper + ribbon + tape + secret items in your lap.
We got our Christmas tree last week--yes, a real live Douglas Fir, dropping needles on the carpet constantly but smelling oh so piney and authentic. Hanging lights and ornaments wasn't quite as exciting as it has been in recent years, but pulling out the old baubles--funny shell angels with chipped noses, a pair of wooden German dolls in their traditional attire, straw hearts on red ribbons, a fat blue bird with a quirky smile--holds a sentiment that will never fade.
Gingerbread men (or their crumbs) pile in the cookie jar for a few days (or moments), legless and armless as tends to happen with such treats. It doesn't take long for even the crumbs to vanish, nevertheless.
Es ist warm und gemütlich Saeson. // It is warm and cozy season. Let's go cozy in it.
Happy First of Winter, on the 'morrow.
Much Love,

p.s. (I guest posted this week with a few more words to welcome Winter at Your's Truly. Just sayin.')

oh! you're tree is so pretty! xo :)
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautiful, soft and rustic. I could gobble down that adorable gingerbread man.
ReplyDeleteA very merry Christmas to you, Lucia! The photos are beautiful and I'm sure your tree is too. We haven't had a live tree in several years but they are my favorite. I just have to be content with Christmas tree candles for the lovely smell.
