A Few of My Favorite Christmas Things (and Norman Rockwell)
*Favorite Christmas Song*
Goodness, it is hard to say “just one”.. (so I won’t!) I will say I always listen to Nat King Cole’s: Christmas song, and Burl Ives: Holly Jolly Christmas, Bing Crosby’s: I’ll Be Home For Christmas and Andy Williams: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year .
*Favorite Christmas Movie*
And here we go with another mini list! Bing Crosby: White Christmas, Jimmy Stewarts: It’s a Wonderful Life, Maureen O’Hara’s (1934) Miracle on 34th Street, and I have to watch Alastair Sim’s (1951) movie of Scrooge (followed by Patrick Stewart’s version!)
*Favorite Christmas Gift to Give*
I don’t have a favorite gift to give, because everyone is so different and I always tried to match a gift with the person. To get something I KNOW they will like, not something I hope they will like.
*Favorite Christmas Gift to Get*
Of course books are at the top of the list but right up there with them is to receive something totally silly and unneeded! (like a toy..duh, what 64 year old needs a toy??)
*Favorite Christmas Cookie*
Oh my, when my family was young I loved to bake! I would bake several “regulars”, like chocolate chip and peanutbutter and butter cookies..and then each year I’d try one or two new ones.. so I can’t say I have an all time favorite, but I guess the “family favorite” was always chocolate chip (crunchy not chewy!)
*Favorite Christmas Candy*
One?! LOL you jest?! Well I do like candy canes and they are as Christmas as you can get. But if you want to gift me candy, it had better be Guylain Seashells! LOL LOL
*Favorite Christmas Color*
Blue! Blue lights on my tree, blue and white balls on the tree… blue, blue, blue, blue blue…. blue.
*Favorite Christmas Tradition*
Well, I don’t have one anymore, but when my kids were young I loved that we always spent Christmas Eve with my Sister-in-law and her family and others from the family and close friends.
