This First Day in December

Sweden winter 5

Here we are, the first day in December. I always love this day because it sort of gives us permission. Permission to go inside and get cozy.

To make and drink the best cups of coffee. Oh and of course eat the most wonderful sweets.

To light the dark in a magical sort of way.

To play together and for each other.

It's those creative moments between family and friends.

Yes, December gives us permission to come as we are, to go inside and be together. Wishing you a wonderful beginning to your December.

    What a lovely posting to start this magical month.
    Have just read your World of Louisa May Alcott piece too and wanted to say how wonderful it was – such a moving experience. I recently went to Haworth, home of the Brontes – a very long held dream of mine to visit and that too was amazing. It is an incredible journey to visit the places of literary heroes – thank you so much for sharing your experience:))
