  • Gingerbread cookies right out of the oven.
  • Being wrapped up in plaid, flannel blankets with a heavy Russian novel.
  • Christmas parties with classmates.
  • Boys offering to give you their coats if you appear cold. (Even after you insist that it's "okay".)
  • Going to the ballet.
  • Eggnog and crème de menthe liqueur.
  • The scent of a real fir tree at home.
  • Beloved homey, winter classics: "It's a wonderful life" and "shop around the corner".
