Warmth

Christmastime. 

a time of warmth.

one's family, loved ones nearby, freshly baked cookies,

twinkling lights, homemade soup, cozy blankets,

finding that perfect gift,

roaring fireplace, new special traditions...

I hope everyone felt their own version of warmth during Christmastime.

I know I did. My heart is full.

My parents have always been exceptional gift givers.

My fossil watch and kitchen gadgets top my list this year!
