10 Things I Look Forward to at Christmas

There are a few things that I look forward to every year around the Christmas Season. Most have to do with food. Is this a sign I'm getting old?

Off the top of my head, These are a few of my favorite things:

• Those dollar box of chocolate covered cherries from Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store

My Great grandmother used to send us a box of these in the mail every year when I was a kid

• Homemade divinity candy with a pecan on top

Another grandmother made homemade candy EVERY Christmas

• Putting change in the Salvation Army buckets

My 4yr old loves it and it feels good to give a little

• Big metal canisters of multiple flavored popcorn

The gift that lasts for at least a week then you keep the can for target practicing

• The smell of fireplace smoke in the morning

I grew up with a wood burning stove in our house so chimney smoke reminds me of my parents house

• Cans of fake snow

Who doesn't love fake snow?

• Rum

It's the Holiday's

• Homemade Chex-Mix

There's something about roasted pecans that screams Christmas to me...

• Christmas Cards

I like seeing my old pals kids getting bigger and their festive sweaters

• Electric Blankets
