Now that the long, hot and sticky days of summer are over and colder weather has arrived, it is time to dig out the flannel sheets. At the end of a cold day, there is nothing better than crawling in between warm and soft flannel sheets and settling in for the night. I especially love brand new flannel sheets that have been washed only one time. They are so soft and thick, and so inviting. Even after a most stressful day, tension simply seems to melt away as you settle into your soft flannel sheets. Perhaps these sheets are so comforting because, as well as being warm and comfortable, they remind us of the flannel pajamas we are wore as children. There was nothing like jumping into those flannel pj's (some of which even had "feet") after a warm bath. It might be those childhood memory of safety, warmth and love wrapped in flannel pj's which cause our adult-selves to feel so secure in flannel sheets. Keeping warm and safe in flannel covered beds on cold winter nights. . . .it's a good thing!
