hello christmas tree, hello house that smells like childhood. hello december. I am somewhere between wide open arms and wishing I could skip you altogether. am living squarely in the space between. but you're here, december. and there's really nothing I can do about it. what I can do is pinch sap off the ends of christmas tree branches, wear it like perfume. eat clementines, make salted caramels. set out the little forest, jump on the couch with the kids. celebrate the birth, sing the songs. and ride the waves, ride all the waves.
lovely

ReplyDeleteYes, lets ride those weaves, wearing fluorescent pink wetsuits and shouting into the blue of the sky. We're also doing in between in our neck of the woods, good to share in your space!
ReplyDeleteyour little forest is one of my all-time favorite christmas vignettes!!! i love how happy you make your home...all year long. happy december friend.
ReplyDeletei love the smell of a tree. we have a little live one this year and it makes the whole apartments smell amazing. clementine season and apple season my two favorite things about the later half of the year.
