About Seasonal
January first arrives wrapped in the smell of coffee and last night's confetti still caught in someone's hair. Rose Parade floats drift past on the screen — mountains of fresh flowers engineered over sleepless nights — while a football kickoff echoes from the next room. The day has its own particular stillness: a blank calendar page, a hopeful resolve, and a brunch table where leftovers and mimosas share equal billing.
