what gets me…
December 16, 2010
raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens… the sexy version.
There are just some things that get me everytime, we feel each other, pure goodness…like…
fresh garlands
deep red berries of any kind
the inside patterns of chopped up fire wood
the smell of wood burning
my new found love of wood stoves
tablecloths in pretty fabrics with fresh flowers/greens on top
mantles, all sorts
cool covers of old favorite songs
snow
more snow
light that finds its way into every corner of your house
sledding
sledding with your besties
white lights
strange things shaped into a heart
friendship cherry and apple challah
finger flashlights
strangers
…what gets you, carries you through the season, brings you joy?

surprises, no matter how small
smiles on my kids faces, no matter why
sugary treats, no matter what kind
the societal tendency toward altruism, no matter how strong

Christmas lights, the smell of pine, candy canes. Oh, and the music. Bing Crosby, be still my beating heart.

That same fabric from Ikea on your table (I got the red and blue!)
Snow and sledding
Impromptu soup pot lucks after sledding with friends who don’t care how messy our house is
Crafting gifts for and with my little ones
Watching my daughter fall in love with making gifts
Our tacky lighted Christmas village and our beautiful Christmas tree
Kite paper window stars
Nursing my one-year-old by the Christmas tree and remembering his blissful home birth a year ago

oh these are so lovely!
ditto on all, plus the scent of pine, paperwhites and woodsmoke and the silence of snow.
