Last time we had a Christmas tree was five years ago. We were living in a different house back then. I have fond memories of baking cinnamon cookies the evening we put the decorations on.

This year I was really craving for a tree, especially that we’ve never had one in this apartment. And so we got ourselves one. We dressed it up this morning, over coffee. I can’t put into words the joy I feel whenever I’m doing this. It’s like going back to childhood, same feeling, time and time again.

Now I only wish for some snow and lots of cosy evenings at home.
