Closing out the week with a quietly-candlelit post we just have one more holiday to go… and then what? Ah, there’s the terror and the rub. We race to this week then it’s done, and there’s suddenly nothing else to do. That used to be my conundrum, but for the last few years I’ve modified my perspective, shifting how I built things up in anticipation, what I wanted as a result, and how I kept the spirit going beyond one single week. The main difference I made was pushing out the idea of hygge deep into the winter. The winter season has only just begun, and it hardly ends with the completion of the holidays.
A spindly little tree lit only in white lights and holding no ornaments or decorations, stays erected in the attic until February. Andy will keep our real tree watered and lit until Little Christmas. And the cozy baking and sweet treats will see us all the way into March.
Hygge is the best way to get through the winter, and it’s here now…
