That Holiday Feeling
On my way home from work I noticed that some of the houses near the office were already starting to decorate for Christmas. A few strings of lights🎄, and a Santa or two remind us that in a few short weeks the big day will be upon us.🎅
Despite the ‘pumpkin spice’ everything, it wasn’t until I stopped at the grocer to pick up a few things that it hit me. There they were, the quintessential holiday item that always makes me think of Christmas, the mandarin orange.🍊
Perhaps it is something else for you, but for me buying that first box of oranges and tasting the juicy citrus sections burst in my mouth is the first real sign of the holiday season. We have just passed Halloween 🎃and Remembrance Day 🎖️and now the stores are stocking oranges and chocolates and limited edition holiday items.
We might not have much snow ❄️yet, but I’ll be satisfied with oranges until the New Year! I think the reason I associate oranges with Christmas, is that as a child I always got an orange in the toe of my Christmas stocking!
Share with me what your favourite holiday season items are!
