Sitting alone in a nice warm sweater, cuddled up in my blanket, listening to some relaxing christmas ambiance and drinking hot chocolate, my tree finally lit without killing the rest of my lights. I have sweet, buttery sugar cookies, the kind with the giant red and green crystal sprinkles, baking and making my whole home smell wonderful. Now if only I could find a dancing partner, I tried my cat but she strongly objected. Oh well, it is just as well to dance on my own, I do not step on as many toes that way. If it would just snow I would forget all about dancing and go play.Of all the years that come and go, the seasons that pass you bye, hobbies that change, loves that drag your heart along but only for a while, the joys I find in winter have never changed.Hot chocolate, cookies, trees, lights and snow, with a little music to set the mood. These are the joys that shall always be with me.
