Irish Moss. The only thing that looks good in the garden right now. Reminds me of fields of winter wheat. I love seeing the bright green surprise in the dreary winter landscape.
Christmas Music. Barenaked for the Holidays, by the Barenaked Ladies (of course) my all time favorite.
Commercialism. I’m probably the only person who doesn’t bemoan the commercialization of Christmas. But the idea that there’s one time of year to focus on generosity and acquisition is just so. . .efficient. I love it that the stores are jam-packed with people and products and decorations and music. Even the 12 years I worked in retail, I loved it.
Cookies. And other holiday baking traditions. But especially creatively decorated cut-out sugar cookies.
Cinnamon. Scented candles, sprinkled on oatmeal, and Big Red gum, which I chew while baking so I don’t eat too much cookie dough.
I think it is so funny that you are in favor of commercialism. So funny, because I think this is the first time I've ever heard anyone come out and say they are in favor of it! Yay for presents!
