I mean, who can resist a huge bonfire? I just love this tradition - celebrating the dark months by means of warmth and light. Every year after the holidays all of the christmas trees are gathered and burned on a big fire in a field on the outskirts of the village. Nothing can quite describe the larger than life fire, the warmth, the scent of smoke and pinetrees and communal sense of wonder of all the people gathered to watch the spectacle. Can’t wait for next year… :)

I’m not sure I’m really a Christmas person - but I do love filling the house with things that make me happy during these dark winter months. I try to shy away from plastic ornaments and disposable knickknacks, but instead fill it with things collected during my travels or found in nature during one of my many walks. The combinations of those decorations with as many candles as I can light without setting the house on fire, make me a happy girl!
