We bought pfeffernusse cookies today; a holiday tradition from my childhood.

Snow is falling in fat, wet flakes outside.

UPDATED: My brain = mush. Too little sleep. Too many words. I’ll resurface on Sunday-ish. Until then, tell me what are three of your favorite things to receive in your stocking?

    Oh, in my stocking, I love:

    CANDY. My mom would always have a roll of Sweetarts for me -

    Little fun things, wrapped up like tiny presents - ordinary things, sometimes, and they’re all escaping me right now. But I love stockings!
