Winter Market

Pine, Cinnamon, Cranberry, Clove

One snowy Christmas in Sweden, my husband and I wandered through the charming town center, where the air was filled with the scent of pine trees and the warmth of cinnamon and clove. The market was alive with music, laughter, and the happy chatter of people gathering with loved ones. Everywhere we turned, there were festive stalls draped in twinkling lights, offering treats, ornaments, and the coziness of the season. We couldn’t help but smile as the fresh, crisp air mixed with the sweet tang of cranberries, and the festive spices wrapped us in the holiday spirit.

But the real highlight of the day came when the wind blew through the square, toppling a series of Christmas trees set up around the market. To our amusement, a local rushed to the scene, shouting “Hallelujah!” as she carefully stood each tree back up with a grin, as though the whole moment was part of the fun. This candle captures that joyful chaos, the warmth of the spices, and the feeling of being surrounded by the magic of the season.
