I love the rituals of the winter holidays. Especially decorating the tree.

Hand-knit stocking ornament, circa 1999.

I love having a bit of the outdoors inside.

Hockey player keychain, plus handmade sequin & seed bead ornament, circa 2008.

An evergreen tree trimmed in bright colors, set with little white lights… so cheerful!

A classic glass bell ornament and a handwoven grass star ornament from Labrador.

And I love how the tree is the gathering place of gifts, a symbol of abundance and joy.

A vision of plenty and good cheer - Maine, 2011.

In the spirit of the season, I present you one of my favorite holiday songs… enjoy!

Happy, happy holidays, one and all!

So, what’s your favorite part of the holiday season?
