Merry holidays to you all!
I love this special time of the year. The days are filled with family, friends, gifts and lots of yummy food.
As a writer it is a fun time to pay attention to our senses. Take a moment to smell, I mean really smell. Chocolate, egg nog, apple cider, baking cookies, Mom's special treats, fresh cut trees, rain on the pavement...I'm sure you could find many smells that remind you of this season. The neat thing is year after year, these aromas will always remind you of this time of year, of family, of love.
Now look around. What do you see? Colors, lights, ornaments, decorations, presents, smiley faces. The list is endless.
Do the same for the sounds and tastes you experience this time of the year.
Think of the traditions you and your family try to observe each year. Where did they come from? Why? Why is it important to continue them?
These are all things you could write about. And as you do, try to touch your emotions to feel what you feel when you smell, see, taste, and hear during this holiday season.
May your days be blessed,
K.T. Hernandez
