Christmas is approaching and every corner around us is starting to fill with holiday magic. Sometimes you don’t need much – just a Christmas tree, sparkling lights and your favorite decorations that make us smile. I captured just such a moment today – joy, warmth and a feeling of a fairy tale!
My Christmas scene is completed with playful reindeer, a smiling snowman and Santa Claus himself, who seems to have just arrived from Lapland. They are here to create a mood and remind us that Christmas is a time for laughter and joy – regardless of whether you are a child or an adult. And the Christmas tree in the center – with a light “snowy” glow and cozy lights – is like a symbol of the beginning of the holiday countdown.
I love the moment when everything is finished and I can stop, smile and simply enjoy the beauty around me. Holiday decorations seem to take us back to childhood, when we were impatiently waiting for presents and letters to Santa Claus. Because the magic of the holiday isn’t just in the gifts – it’s in the little moments that make us feel happy.
