2018 Cold & Cozy

Baby, it's cold outside.  But I've got my love to keep me warm.

As I thought about the holiday season and what sensations and feelings I enjoyed, I kept coming back to that warm feeling of the season and how it is so wonderful to be cozy inside curled up with your favorite things (flannel pajamas, music, movies, crackling fire, mulled ciders and wines), favorite people, or favorite furballs curled up in your lap.  But also the season is that feeling of bright lights shining in dark nights, crisp cold air, and if you’re lucky: a blanket of white that does not also mean dangerous conditions.

I also realized that we can’t be warm and bright inside without a cold and dark outside. Our winter wonderlands and rocking around the Christmas tree are two sides of the same season.  And thus this year’s mix is a celebration of the cold and the cozy.  So set out over the river and through the woods, and let the sleigh bells jingle all the way, to whomever’s hearth makes you feel warm inside.
