Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

With its pleasing shade of Christmas green, this welcoming bench on a treasured street represents sweet holiday moments that will live long in my memory.

Every year our family spends time enjoying the sights and sounds of Skaneateles, NY; a small idyllic town not too far from home; a town that sets a flawless stage. With its jam-packed shops accommodating cheerful folks in puffy coats and bouncy kids with curious eyes, it does a sterling job of lighting up our senses. With peppermint sticks and steaming hot cocoa, bells that chime as tall doors close, and hushed-crunchy sounds of boots in snow, the town overflows with delights.

Wishing you and yours sweet holiday moments that accumulate steadily like snowflakes on a rooftop!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my friends!

I’ll be taking some time away to enjoy the season with our family, but will return after the holidays with new stories and recipes to capture the coziness of winter.

Annie

XO
