I think my favorite thing is the lights. I love looking at all the lights. I'll try to post some of the pictures I've been taking of lights. Here's a teaser.
My favorite holiday song is Mary Did You Know/ but growing up the song I remember most is the song my Grandma Larson always liked, Silver Bells. Sometimes a tear comes to my eye and I always think of Grandma whenever it's played. Oh great, now that song is in my head and I can't get it out!
And then there's my favorite candy/cookie. I've posted before about the homemade decorated sugar cookies and the Special K Cookies (that aren't made from Special K cereal but the original recipe called for it). But an old family favorite that Grandma Larson taught me to make are Danish Hartshorn Cookies and they have a special ingredient in them; hartshorn. Yep you read it right. You can read more about hartshorn here. Oh wait that was 3 favorite cookies not just one. I can't pick just one.
And of course I couldn't forget my favorite Christmas quilt. This was the firs Christmas quilt I made. Sorry for the blurry picture.
See, I can't pick just one.
And my favorite, and oldest Christmas ornament. The original Elf on A Shelf. haha!
These are a few of my favorite things.... Hmmm there's a song about that..... What are your favorite Christmas things?
