Christmas is, no discussion, the most wonderful time of the year! Whether you’re in cold weather, wearing cozy slippers and holding a mug with hot chocolate, or at a tropical location, surrounded by lit-up palm trees and joyful music, there's no arguing that this holiday is simply magical.
One cannot deny there’s something special about it! Perhaps the smell of spices, the lights, the decorations, or the music everywhere. It’s undoubtedly my favorite holiday, and every year I find new ways to decorate my home with things I make.
