About Stockings & Presents
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.
