While you read this blog, click on the video link to hear an instrumental version of My Favorite Things (although, my favorite version of this song is by Diana Ross and The Supremes)

A few of my favorite Christmas things

Celebrating the birth of Christ!

A surprised look on the faces of my sons opening gifts on Christmas morning

Getting hugs and kisses from my sons and husband

Getting a surprise gift from my husband every year

Taking pictures of my family opening their gifts!

Receiving Christmas Cards in the mail

Listening to Christmas music on the radio (any and all), especially Silent Night by the Temptations

Singing Christmas songs

Eating brazil nuts, walnuts, and pecans

Christmas trees lit with colored or clear lights

A White Christmas (although I’ve never fully experienced one)

A front door decorated with a unique wreath

A decorated fireplace mantel

Taking tours of area neighborhoods to see Christmas lights and other decor twinkle on clear December nights

A decorated dining table with a Christmas tablescape

Opening gifts on Christmas Eve (the way I grew up)

Beautiful Christmas ornaments

A house full of guests on Christmas Eve
(the way I grew up)

Cooking Christmas Dinner for family

Eating mom’s grated sweet potato pudding (nothing like it in the world)

Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Clear electric candles in the windows
The hustle and bussle of Christmas shopping
The smell of cinnamon

Any table, shelf, mantel, or counter decorated in holiday decor
