I’m not one to put up a giant Noble fir in my living room, or deck the halls with tiny twinkling lights. I’m lucky if I can get out holiday cards in time.
I suppose it’s part and parcel to the unencumbered life of a child-free urban couple.
But I’m no scrooge. I like the holidays. The party clothes, the extra sparkly accessories, the wrapping paper and colorful satin ribbon. And this year, my home decor nod to the festivities will come in the form of Crabtree & Evelyn’s Windsor Forest fragranced candle. The medley of Fraser fir, balsam, spruce and English holly is reminiscent of holidays past, and makes home feel a little more cozy.
That and an eggnog latte, and I’m set.
