cozied up on the couch watching football and working on a puzzle.
bundling up, head to toe, for a walk in the frosty air along the cow paths outlining the hillsides.
stuffing my face with dad's perfect apple-cranberry pie and mom's bowl-licking traditional clam chowder.
talking life and love with my brothers and sisters.
bundling up for another walk because it just started snowing.
stopping by the barn to feed the new chickens and give a good head-rub to the barrel-shaped goats.
queuing up star wars and lord of the rings.
sitting by the wood-burning stove losing myself in the text of "wuthering heights."
making silly faces via skype with family in washington.
browsing post-holiday sale items on jcrew.com and anthropologie.com.
missing the dogs during my walks.
waiting for and missing you.
taking a nap.
i can't wait to be home for christmas. there's no place like it and no place i'd rather be.
