The Special *Alone* Moments of Christmas

One of my all time favorite things I look forward to each year is a moment like I'm experiencing now.  The house is quiet.  The Christmas Tree lights are sparkling and "quiet" Christmas music is playing.  My Christmas would not be complete without this moment.  No matter where I've been in my life, what my life situation was at that time or the size of my tree ... I've created this experience each year.  I sit and read, stitch or write.  Quiet moments are often in our home and I'm appreciative of them.  Quiet moments with Christmas tree lights is a treasure.  Quiet moments with Christmas tree lights and traditional *quiet* Christmas music that evokes memories of the past -- bringing tears to my eyes -- this is my Christmas moment. 

What holiday moments do you recreate each year just for you?
