About Seasonal

Christmas morning arrives in rustling layers — paper torn back to reveal something wonderful, stockings fat with small treasures pulled from the mantel one by one. Ribbons curl where scissors have run along their length; tissue paper billows out of baskets in soft clouds of color. The whole room carries that particular scent of scotch tape and evergreen, a sensory memory that needs no explanation.
