It snowed last night. Every year I’m hoping for a white Christmas and if you haven’t experienced a winter wonderland this time of year yet, you don’t know the beauty and magic you are missing. There is a feeling of holiday in the air and it’s taken over me too. Can you believe we’re just one weekend away from the 25th? But until then, there is a new film feature on the blog on Sunday and for Monday I’ve prepared a very special post, which I’m sure you will delight in, the last one until after the holidays. Now I’m leaving you with a little last-minute inspiration and I wish you a wonderful and home-made Christmas cookies-filled weekend!
• Give: a gift that gives back.
• Remember: to pay the proper attention to the stocking stuffers, because it’s a wonderful surprise to find something lovely in there – I’d like to find this
• Decorate: with mistletoe.
• Go for: a simple table setting.
• Bookmark: this shopping guide to the best chocolate (dark chocolate to be exact, the kind that is good for you).
• Get: All the President’s Men
• Wear: something simple and chic.
• Watch: one of these films.
• Make: spiced apples, a healthy complement to the more indulgent holiday desserts.
But, most of all, be merry and remember to sit back, relax and enjoy the quite days to come and the good company.

it snowed here last night too, but not really. it warmed up and rained minutes later and it quickly disappeared. it feels like such a tease because it is really getting my hopes of for a white christmas – sadly that is not in the forecast. i am still trying to find “the shop around the corner” so i can add it to my holiday movie list this year. have a wonderful weekend ada! xx
Oh, yes, I absolutely do know what I am missing when there’s no snow at Christmas…
I know it affects the country a lot and not in a good way, but for me, Christmas has to be white and sparkling. I guess the lack of snow is part of the reason I am not feeling Christmas’y enough this year. If you can send us a few snowflakes, I’ll really appreciate it!

Oh, I’m so envious of your snow. Here in coastal Virginia we’re having record highs today and tomorrow. Thunderstorms! What??? It’ll be colder for Christmas though, so fires in the fireplace and even if there’s no we’ll do a beach walk. We’ve had two Christmases since living here where we’ve had big snowstorms right on Christmas or the day after, so I shouldn’t complain. I loved your Christmas story on Christine’s post.
Love the shopping window! I just pinned the simple table setting and this one is next ; – )
The curry feather journal is right up my alley. Consider it on my wish list!
I love all your links and hope that you get the Grace candle in your stocking, it looks lovely. Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend!
