Amen. Nothing in the world like that feeling. For me it tends to hit right before Thanksgiving and then grows and increases in anticipation of Christmas. Today was cold, quiet November day — for me, just the type of day that triggers that feeling. Always brings to mind the happy yammer of voices and the clink of dishes and good smells, and you step outside for a breath and you feel warm inside out even though it’s freezing.
Yes. We started feeling it today, too. I think my husband will put up the lights next weekend, to get ahead.
