It's the first full weekend of December, and wow, it's a busy one! Cookies with Santa, a Grinch party, Christmas light walks, cookie-making with friends… all the festive fun packed into a few magical days. I've even started taking new routes home at night just to spot fresh Christmas lights in the neighborhood. I love the twinkle lights so much… and seeing the trees glow in the windows.
As much as I love the bustle, my favorite tradition is the quiet at the end of the day… when the house is tucked in and I sit in the living room by the glow of the tree. Sometimes I wrap a gift or finish a little work, and sometimes I just enjoy a cozy Christmas movie, but that peaceful sparkle is what I look forward to all season long.
How about you? Which simple traditions make this time of year special for you?
