so as i said before, i am planning to celebrate a lovely christmas this year. a very very very lovely one.
i am still recovering and restructuring from last years fiasco when i sat and wept with fear after being stood up for christmas and so i need to create all new traditions, and i shall. the rough plan is to stay here in brooklyn till saturday. drive to pennsylvania to my little house early in the morning. chop down a tree in the snow. preferably a little one. off kilter and spare. then i'm going to drag it home and put the wet little thing in a stand and towel it off (it will be snowing) and decorate the rangy little sprig on sunday. maybe with gumdrops. and popcorn. silver icicles too! also going to decorate the house with tons of ribbons and holly and evergreen cut fresh from outside. then i will tie on my apron and pull out the trusty kitchen aid, and bake.
baking list:
gingerbread
peanut butter blossoms
russian teacakes
russian teacakes
then after dinner i shall draw a hot bath, have a stiff drink, put on my prettiest silk jammies, douse myself with fifi chachnil, light a million candles, hang chases tiny little stocking, put out cookies and a cup of milk for santa, because of course i will...and carrots for the reindeer. sleep like a baby surrounded by soft miniasscule fairy lights and keep the tv on with a christmas story looping.
i shall wake up to fresh snow, hug chase, make coffee, scramble some eggs, listen to music, cause i'm not sick of it yet, and then build a roaring fire in the fireplace and sit and watch the snow fall cause where i'm going, there is a white christmas in the forecast. yes i am dreaming of a white christmas.
peace xx

Cynthia, You are the best, and, whether it’s true or not, I absolutely love the throwaway A Christmas Story reference...
