1. Sitting around a wood fire in the kitchen.
2. What’s not to like about popping corks?
3. Seed catalogs. Even though I’m not the one ordering. It’s just a pleasure to watch.
4. Ralph Page Legacy weekend. Big New England contradance gathering one town over. You wanna talk about characters?
5. Daylight already getting noticeably longer.
6. Tiny colored lights ringing our bay window
7. Discovering more tins of Christmas cookies she’s made.
8. Getting familiar with my Christmas presents now that the hoopla’s over.
9. Mozart, Schubert, and Mendelssohn’s birthdays
10. Clear starry nights.
