Hurrah for a new giveaway! Every year, the fabulous shop and crafting community hub, Sew, Mama, Sew!, hosts a network of blog giveaways. So here goes—just leave a comment below and I’ll select the winner at random.
Here is what you need to do: write a micro haiku—or just one sentence—or a few poetic words about a quirky or particular smell or taste or sound from your favorite winter holiday memory. Easy peasy. One winner will receive my Princess and the Pea puppet pattern and my I’ll Huff and I’ll Puff Pattern. The other winner will receive My Wonky Little Houses Quilt pattern.

wrapping paper shreds.

driving to the country
up the hill
he waits in the drive
impatiently sitting
sniffing and waiting
for turkey dinner
The giggles I heard
at my bedroom door
the clock read five
candlelight glimmers
voices singing clear and strong
O Holy night of all
Cinnamon tingles
Inside my mouth and my nose
Yum Yum in my tum
I love the smell of a fresh cut tree.
I cannot resist
biting the peppermint
even though it makes me sneeze.

I loves the sound of Christmas bell!

The smell of a pinetree is so different
Cinnamon buttery sweetness
How doth the little naughty boy discover presents early?
by sneakily coercing the younger one with hair so curly.
how gleefully they giggle
how sneakily they hide
when “boys where are you?” mommy cried
The crunch, crunch crunch of snow beneath your feet, when the rest of the world is silent…
I am going to go with rhyming
I love the pitter patter of little feet. It makes my holiday oh so sweet.
(referring to my fur monsters running down the stairs to play in the wrapping paper 🙂 )
In the kitchen we make
Cookies to take.

to guess your presents hold and feel
until you’ve guessed you cannot peel
sqint and fondle, shake and smell,
only then might you be able to tell.
Okay…lame…but it has the word “smell” in it 😉
Sorry no Haiku but here is my attempt at a poem
Christmas here is in the sun
With swimming, sand and lots of fun
But winter brings its own joy
Camping with my little boy.

Thanks for the opportunity…this question is perfect.
When visiting the Daum house, something magical happens. Dad opens the cabinet, grabs something black from a box and slowly walks into the room. Us kids know what is coming. What can it be? What can it be?
To most it’s a simple black trashbag; but to those that know the secret. It’s whooshing sound rings in Christmas each and every year and is the signal that we can start ripping open gifts.
The smell of pine when we first bring in the Christmas tree!
The smell of apple pie makes me sigh. (Pretty bad, huh?)
crunching snow, crackling fire, hot chocolate….
Silver and Gold Silver and Gold are the colors of Christmas’ new and old! ha
