Rituals - New Darlings

On New Year’s Day we (very sadly) put away all of our Christmas decorations. It’s such a funny process. Once Thanksgiving rolls around, we get all excited, get our boxes of decorations and go to town on decking this place out from top to bottom….garland, wreaths, so many ornaments, pine scented candles and candy canes everywhere! It’s always sad when we have to pack it all up, but super therapeutic to give the apartment a good clean and have everything back in its place. New Year’s Day consisted of just that! It felt so good to start the new year completely fresh. After we got this little place of ours tidy, we lounged around and spun some of our favorite cold weather albums, cozied up on the couch. Lately, we find ourselves reaching for artists like Fleet Foxes and Beirut. They have such a warm tone to them, which is something we have been enjoying on these colder Phoenix days at home.
