At this time of the year......
When each hour only seems to have fifty minutes......
When our homes are being decorated to within an inch of their lives.....
And we turn cooking and shopping into an Olympic sport.
Just stop, and take a minute to appreciate some of the simpler things in life......
Climbing into a freshly laundered bed......
Candle light.....
The wonderfully evocative scent of Paperwhites......
Your favourite hat on a chilly day......
There's something about lights on a string......
And the silence of a snowy scene from the comfort of your own home......
I know its easier said than done, but lets just enjoy the simple things.
Hope you have a lovely week,
Liz x
Definitely, Liz! We're keeping everything simple so we can enjoy it all: family, friends, each other.....

I couldn't agree more and I am planning on planting paperwhites next year. I also love, love, to snuggle up under freshly laudered sheets; so comforting. Happy Holidays to you and your family darling! XX
