There's something wonderfully nostalgic about vintage Christmas advertisements. Especially Coke ads, which some might argue defined our modern visualisation of Christmas - the jolly Santa Claus, the red and white, the perfect little nuclear family. I know that there are people who absolutely hate the holiday season - particularly the commercialism, but that's my favourite part! I love Christmas shopping and the decorating and food. I love walking into a mall in early November and seeing all the Christmas lights up already.
This book, Family Gathering, is one of my favourite Christmas reads. It was some random book I picked up at a Library sale years and years ago, but it never fails to cheer me up with sweet little short stories and poems.
And Rookie has an awesome little playlist of Christmas tunes that I am a little bit in love with.
