There is something about the Christmas season that awakens the child in me. I relish digging out my scarves, mittens and wool jackets. I look forward to that first gulp of apple cider, decorating gingerbread and picking out a Christmas tree. I still get excited about the first frost and well as the first snowfall. I doubt I will do any sledding this year as I am nearly 7 months pregnant.
This year I decided to decorate little tins and fill them with baking for my friends and family. I made buttertarts, gingerbread decorated like snowflakes, thumprint cookies and oatmeal applesauce cookies. I also made some handmade cards, as scrapbooking has become one of my newfound passions. I have also been gathering armloads of evergreens on my morning walks.
I can't wait to start decorating the few gifts I have bought this year. Ussually I love bright gypsey colors, but this year I been drawn to natural fibers, linen, lace and evergreens.
