seasonal delights

I usually do this at A-Lister, but today it feels better here. I don't know why - recent full moon, end of a trying back-to-school-after-long-break week, day before I get to retreat with my best girlfriends for the weekend...Regardless, enjoy.

1. Sweaters & gloves back in style
2. Football
3. Freshly baked chocolate cookies (they taste better when it's cold outside)
4. Possibility of snow
5. Likelihood of snow not staying too long
6. Christmas music! (My family kind of hates me already...)
7. Did I say football?
8. Warm apple cider
9. Hot cocoa with tiny little marshmallows & whipped cream. And more whipped cream.
10. The thick scent of piney wreaths and bayberry candles
11. Performances of A Christmas Carol & The Nutcracker everywhere we go
12. Bell-ringers who still smile & say "Merry Christmas"
13. Seeing family during the holidays (I get all Clark Griswold at this time of year...)

More eclecticity at Thursday Thirteen.
