I, however, am not a morning person; this means I have seen more sunrises in the six years since she was born, than I had in the previous 34 years before I became a mother.<\/p>\n<p>Given that I am now regularly awake before dawn, I have gained an appreciation for the ebb and flow of daylight as the seasons change. In the summer, sunlight floods our bedroom windows at 5:30am when I hear the groaning creak of my daughter\u2019s bunk bed as she climbs down the wooden ladder excited to start the day.<\/p>\n<p>In the winter months of December and January, I doze in the half-dark before sunrise, before she bounces into our bedroom. Each day the sun rises a little later; sometimes she also sleeps in longer, but most days (alas) she does not. She crawls into bed between my husband and I, wrapping her arms around my neck while I protest, \u201cIt\u2019s still dark, it\u2019s too early.\u201d But I also remind myself to enjoy these sunrise awakenings while they last, as I will be sad when she outgrows climbing into our bed to cuddle every morning.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_186321\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-186321\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-186321 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-new-santafe-sunset-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"winter meditation Santa Fe sunset\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-new-santafe-sunset-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-new-santafe-sunset-768x548.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-new-santafe-sunset.jpeg 1312w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-186321\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just another Santa Fe sunset.

But we do not have any west-facing windows, and I miss the panoramic sunsets from my childhood in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The southwestern horizon is so wide and vast, stretching from the moonrise on one side to the sunset on the other. At night the sky is filled with stars and, during winter, fragrant with the smell of pi\u00f1on woodsmoke.<\/p>\n<p>My husband\u2019s mother still lives in Santa Fe, in the same house in which my husband grew up. He has childhood memories of falling asleep in a nest of blankets before the fire in the kiva fireplace, listening to the crackle and pop of the flames. We haven\u2019t been home to visit since February 2020, but my daughter can remember helping my husband prepare the fire, as her little hands nestled kindling between the logs before my husband struck the match to light the flame.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_186292\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-186292\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-186292 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-farolitos-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"winter meditation Santa Fe farolitos\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-farolitos-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-farolitos.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-farolitos-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-farolitos-1536x1097.jpeg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-186292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Farolitos are a cherished part of the Christmas season in Santa Fe.

In Santa Fe\u2014like other places in the Southwest with a Spanish colonial history\u2014the Christmas tradition is to light <em>luminarias<\/em> (small vigil fires or bonfires) and <em>farolitos<\/em> (small paper lanterns) outside their homes. On Christmas Eve, people gather for <em>La Posada<\/em>, walking along the <em>farolito-lined<\/em> Canyon Road (a historic street in the old-town neighbourhood now filled with art galleries and restaurants), stopping at <em>luminarias<\/em> along the way to warm up, sing carols, and snack on festive treats like <em>biscochitos<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_186294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-186294\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-186294 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-biscochitos-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"winter meditation Santa Fe biscochitos\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-biscochitos-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-biscochitos.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-biscochitos-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/winter-meditation-biscochitos-1536x1097.jpeg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-186294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It&#8217;s not Christmas in Santa Fe without biscochitos!
