The Christmas season has got to be one of my favorite times of the year. I avoid the malls, shopping in general, like the plauge (online is how its done baby). But the spirit is what gets me. And now with my son I'm a woman obsessed. Decorating in my house has taken on a mind of its own. The tree, exterior lights, finding the perfect stockings for my little family, snow falling, finding the perfect heartfelt gift, baking, and Christmas music. Who can resist!?
One of my favorite things to do is stovetop potpourri. Muuuummmm. This really is Christmas in a pot. It brings back memories of Christmas time when I was a kid, this was one thing my dad would do. And its so simple to do. Orange zest, cranberries, clove, cinnamon sticks, and water. Thats it. Boil it, bring it to a simmer and enjoy. : ) The smell fills my whole house and is just hard to beat. Nothing in a can or a candle holds a flame to it.
I took my son to the, gasp!, the mall to have his picture take with Santa. And gosh darn it do I have the c-u-t-e-s-t kid ever. The smile on his face in the picture is just priceless. It was an experience that I have been looking forward to ever since the Holiday season rolled around. Tis the Season!
