The Dubois Family's Journey Through a Nostalgic Christmas Wonderland
Share
In a small town where winter's embrace was as tender as a mother's hug, there lived the Dubois family, a group of three, bound by love and a shared adoration for the winter season. The village, nestled in the heart of a snowy landscape, seemed to come alive as January's chill swept through the streets, dressing the rooftops and trees in a pristine white. The Dubois family home, a cozy cottage with a roaring fireplace, was the embodiment of winter warmth and joy.
Eva, the mother, was a poet at heart. She found beauty in how snowflakes danced to the earth, each a unique masterpiece. Her husband, Charlie, a craftsman, adored the quiet that winter brought, the world seemingly pausing to catch its breath. Their young daughter, Veronique, with her wide, wonder-filled eyes, saw winter as a time of endless play and discovery.
Each year, as the first snow fell, the Dubois family would embark on their cherished winter tradition. They would venture into the forest, a wonderland of white, to choose a Christmas tree. Veronique's laughter, pure and infectious, would echo through the trees as she found the perfect one. Once home, the tree would be adorned with ornaments, each holding a story from the family's past.
But the heart of their tradition lay in the lighting of a specific set of candles, all winter long. As the wicks were lit, a symphony of scents enveloped the room. Notes of fruity, sweet, and spicy mulled wine from the 'Christmas Cheer' candle. Notes of ground ginger, cinnamon, orange peel from 'Granny's Gingerbread' and a beautiful mix of powerful green notes with fruity aromas from the 'Winter Wonderland' candle.
The candles were more than a source of light and fragrance; they were a portal to memories. Each scent was a thread in the tapestry of their past Christmases, weaving together moments of joy, laughter, and love. As the candles burned, Eva would recount tales of her childhood Christmases, painting vivid pictures of snowball fights and steaming cups of cocoa with cinnamon. Charlie would share stories of crafting wooden toys by the fireplace with his father, guided only by the flickering candlelight.
Veronique, nestled between her parents, would listen, her eyes sparkling with the reflected light of the candles, as she travelled through time to a world where magic was real and every snowflake held a wish. These stories, illuminated by the soft glow of the candles, became a part of her, a cherished collection of moments that she would one day pass on.
As the candles flickered and the night deepened, the Dubois family would sit in contented silence, each lost in their reveries, yet united in the warmth of their shared memories and the cozy embrace of their home. The 'Nostalgic Christmas' candles, a beacon of light in the winter cold, reminded them that the magic of holidays was not just in the stories of the past, but in the moments they created together.
