Finally I can add mine to this already gorgeous mix - I’m sitting with advent candle lit, calming diffuser going with gingerbread spice oil ( it’s Tisserand so “ proper” not nasty fake stuff) and carols playing softly. We had our first mince pies made with my homemade mincemeat last night. Tree is up with lights but no decorations yet - slowly does it! And a card letter arrived from a cousin in Canada I only hear from at this time of year - and with it a flood of precious memories from our childhoods before they emigrated in the mid 50’s when I was very small. Seasonal nostalgia - a very potent, heart stirring thing!
