I have counted down the days to the weekend, full of excitement to fill my home with Christmas spirit. I've decided to do it all at once this year. Jay will be away on a business trip for a couple of weeks so we'll get a tree this weekend and go full Christmas mode from First of Advent itself. That way we can all enjoy the Christmas spirit in full as a family. A great part of the build up is to flick through my collection of Christmas magazines. Preferably with breakfast while the rest of the house is still asleep. I light a candle and fill myself up with colors, patterns and ideas for the upcoming holiday season.
This morning I took down the Christmas boxes from the attic. It is finally time to turn on some Christmas carols, heat up some glögg, bake ginger cookies to spread the lovely scent of the holidays all around. December is by far my favorite time of the year. It is just so full of warmth, love, joy and coziness. Is that even a word? Well, if not before, it is now. Coziness - think warm, snugly, friendly, joyful, comfortable, loving, in peace, yummy... I'm ready. Are you?
NOTE
coziness (Noun. 1. ) a state of warm snug comfort, coziness, snugness, comfort, comfortableness - a state of being relaxed and feeling no pain.
I think that says it all. In Denmark and Norway they say Hygge, in Sweden we say Mysigt. Bring on the Coziness.
Kärlek

glorious sunrise there, very pretty; we've had some stunning sunsets here (am not up early enough for sunrises lol) with all the smoke around it's mystical
ReplyDeletelove the coziness too
thanx for sharing
Amazing sunrise, I can imagine how spectacular it was. I shall look forward to seeing all your Christmas loveliness. Have a good weekend. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteOooh! I think we shared that sunrise with you from just outside Geneva! It was spectacular - my kids were running from window to window amazed at the pinkness of the sky :) I've also been reading Christmas magazines and Christmas books in the quiet of morning this week. There is such a magical feel in the candlelit moments before dawn. Thank you for your lovely blog. xx
ReplyDeleteYesterday we got our tree and got all the decorations down. I warmed up the mulled wine, put on Christmas carols and decorated the tree and house (probably after too much mulled wine!). My most favourite thing in this month is to wake up early and have my first drink of the morning by the twinkling tree whilst the rest of the house is still sleeping. It's always quite magical. xxx
