“The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?“

. . . and while it has been much too warm for the first snowfall, our Christmas mood these days has us terribly excited for when [& if] it does happen, for the very silence of its fall, for the crackling the fire makes on cosy evenings, the way the scents of a million lit candles fill the room, the flickering of fairy lights, and the time spent amongst the garlands and golden tinsel with friends and family . . .

{p.s.} a very enormously huge announcement is on the way! x
