Dreaming about: Christmas in the countryside

Crackling fires, patchwork blankets, quilted stockings, fresh snow, ivy garlands, mulled wine, winter foliage, handmade wreaths, Christmas carols, paper chains, velvet bows, dried oranges, dinner candles, frosty mornings, hyacinth bulbs, homemade gingerbread, heirloom crockery, love, nostalgia, and magic.
