We've been making simple wreaths with what we collect - simple, no frills, made lovingly by lots of hands.
We've decorated our Christmas tree and keep adding other bits we make.
We've made five pointed star ginger cookies since we are all heavenly stars and since we have been exploring Number 5.
And we have been keeping well away from the frantic seasonal pulse out there and staying here wrapped within the peace of wintry nature and warm home. I haven't bought or made any Christmas gifts yet, not even for the children, and I haven't planned Christmas day even though we will have ten family guests here, but I have loved every slow, gentle flowing days, living the season, loving my children and delighting in the joy of an active babe's movements in my baby tummy which is growing and growing beautifully round. Happy, slow days.
It's so wonderful that you have these things growing outside this time of year!!! Here in Alaska we're under 3 ft of snow! Have to buy all the holiday greenery from a store!
