Nutcracker performance no longer of 1. Trying way too hard. A homemade Christmas a bit too far (see - trying way too hard). Wood fuel. Moments by the fire in the early morning. Horses. Horses. Frost in the lower field. Wet felt. Bookcase climbing. Solstice not quite perfect. A yule circle. Christmas Eve tired and magical. Too much? Not enough? But too warm. Traveling for the first time (ever and in 2 years). Introductions! Snow. Dumplings. Knitting. Sewing lessons. Goodnight!
