Sometimes waking up to snow feels like a little bit of magic; your view was transformed while you were sleeping, and everything is so pretty, you can't stop staring.
The holidays this year have been long and more relaxing than I could ever remember. Usually, I pack my vacation time with things to do and places to see, as if I am a tourist in my own city, fueled by the desire not to miss out on any events or winter scenes. This year, my only priority was to spend quality time with loved-ones and quality time with myself and my home. I removed my watch (not by choice, admittedly, as the strap snapped in two) and distanced myself from my phone by at least one room. I hosted dinner parties but mostly took it easy - reading, thinking, dreaming, cooking, watching movies, playing with my kitten and watching the snow fall.

Waking up without an alarm and to the sight of snow made the day start off in a beautifully cozy way. I'd make pancakes, bury them in sugar and prioritize feeling content and warm.
