taking in the moment // one last time.

dearest readers, 

the days are shorter; the nights longer. december has almost come to a close and soon the last chapter of this year will be another archive to remember upon.  

silent night. with december, comes a flurry of events. lights. festivals. dinners. shopping. frenzied gift-wrapping. yet on christmas eve there is a peace about the world as we remember the little babe wrapped in swaddling cloth that lain in a manger so long ago. 

sitting here cozily, by the fireside that cheerfully dances within the hearth. the silky hot chocolate within my palms tastes even more magical. stockings hang in their places. the nativity radiates from under the tree.  

breathing in the moment. sighing in the moment. taking it all in. one last time with you, dear reader.
