The holiday season is the most beautiful for romantics like myself. There is so much romance in the air. I'm not talking about standing under the mistletoe and stealing a smooch, or surprise holiday engagements, but the quiet beauty that sweeps you up into a magical-snow-globe-inspired reality.
Horse drawn sleigh rides at dusk under a cozy woolen blanket, exquisitely wrapped packages that hold mysterious gifts chosen with love, delicate champagne flutes, full of bubbly, served on a polished silver tray, that is reserved for special occasions, and fluffy snowflakes, drifting lazily downward, that create an angelic white backdrop for houses strung with lights.
What do you find the most beautiful and captivating about the holiday season?
This is why I chose December for my wedding 29 years ago. The church was decorated for Christmas. We hit the road for Steamboat Springs CO...and the honeymoon even included a sleigh ride to a small cabin where we were served a special dinner. It is a quiet,magical time of year and I love it! I also love your picture of the little deer...so sweet! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI feel like a kid during Christmas. I love thinking of my friends and picking the perfect presents for them. Chrustmas is about family time, reflection,beauty and enjoying the special moments of life.My tree is up, guestlist done, shopping on the way, all we miss is snow...
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with all of the above, Debby. Romance is not just what the media tells us it is, but it is in the captivating beauty of the untouchable, the intangible, the unbelievable. LOVE TO YOU! Anita
ReplyDeleteChristmas for me is about spending quality time with family & friends. I love Christmas lights & well decorated shop window displays.

i just love all the family and friends time - driving around looking at lights in the neighborhood - walking around NYC and taking in all the windows and decor - the holiday parties to get dressed up for and cheers through the night - i LOVE this time of year!
ReplyDeleteI adore Christmas lights glowing under a fresh blanket of snow on a quiet, cold night!
ReplyDeleteThese images are so romantic and beautiful! Especially loving the one of that little deer :)
ReplyDeleteTo me this time of year is all about family time. My kids are all home, relatives come to visit and though I enjoy all the fun stuff, thats what is most important.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can pinpoint one particular thing I love about the Christmas season. I think it's a combination of things ......memories of childhood, lots of sparkle, twinkling lights, gorgeous Christmas trees, traditional food we only associate with Christmas, time with friends and family......Your images are all beautiful!

Debby,
ReplyDeleteThere is something about being indoors with a blazing fire and a hot cocoa with those you care most about that is romantic to me. I love the sights and smells of the season.
Enjoy your week.

Love the deer in the snow. I need snow to get into the Christmas spirit :)
ReplyDeleteThe season is so romantic.. emotional, spiritual and beautiful in every way. The festivities and preparation up to THE DAY is the best part;) Visiting friends, parties, and there is a calm vibe when people have time off. I'm looking forward to my last day at the office.. the 21.
