Philosophy Holiday 2009 Collection
Philosophy Holiday 2009 Collection
ah, our first snow so fresh and beautiful. carolers arrive, like graceful, holiday angels to sing silent night and share my winter joy. the sugary smell of grandma’s angel cakes reaches my window seat, while i continue to gaze… watching pairs of snow shoes & mittens carve snowy trails.
the guests will be arriving soon. mom pulls out the cookbook and calls me into the kitchen. together, we bring the gingerbread man to life with frosting buttons and a happy heart. all the treats must be decorated for the cookie exchange we’ll have later by the fire.
jumbling pots and pans make music, and i laugh. it sounds like the bake shoppe down the street! eyes will light up over the holiday spice and everything nice in our home-baked goodies. after the cups and cookie crumbs are collected, i sneak back to my window to watch friends make the winter escape.
i hope dad hurries in. he promised to read ‘twas the night before and make his special peppermint hot cocoa. he calls it fireside indulgence, which make mom giggle. my little brother is two, so he’s telling everyone he meets to have a cherry christmas!
i draw a candy cane in the fog of my window as grandpa plays holiday songs to remind us of the spirit of giving. grandma said i was “a darling, little holiday hostess” to our guests, and maybe on new year’s eve i can be a party girl with my older cousins!
mom loves her gift; she called my dad the miracle worker for topping last year’s present. i just love how she smells… so pretty, so soft like amazing grace.
mom comes up behind me and wraps me in a big hug. she asks, “what do you see out your window?” i answer, “magic.” she kisses my forehead and looks at me, “magic, you say?” “i asked each snowflake to take hope to everyone, and they’re delivering it. isn’t that magic?”
a season of and hope philosophy: find the magic in every moment, the hope in every day

Yum! Philosophy always makes me hungry.
I usually don’t go for stuff like this, but I checked some of this out at sephora and flipped over it. I love gingerbread, pumpkin and some others. I need to get some of this ASAP. It also makes great gifts.
Mmmmmmmm, the Gingerbread Man scrub sounds amazing!
I love the holiday kits because I love the smell of cranberry, gingerbread, vanilla and satsuma! It makes me have cravings! I can indulge in these as much as I want and not gain and once!
Those sound very yummy, but I try to stay away from too much perfumes in my lotions and bodywashes.
I love the Hot Cocoa in the shower in the winter – it’s the only Hot Cocoa I can have that doesn’t add to my waistline!
the melting marshmallow cream sounds yummy
nice and cute!!! yummy, now I want some snack!!!
OMG! There goes my sephora friends & family discount!! Yummy =)
