Some of the Things I Love About Christmas

1. The music -- from the cheesy songs to the beautiful and everything in between.  My favorite song as a kid was "Silver Bells".  I can't tell you now what my favorite song is - there are so many great  ones.
2. The smell of a real Christmas tree.
3. The mix of nuts in their shells that we only see in the stores at this time of year - walnuts, hazel nuts, almonds and the dark shelled one with a meaty nut (I forget its name).  Cracking them is   almost better than eating them.  I'm always trying to get two perfect halves of the walnut shell.
4. Christmas movies!  I have been watching them since November 1st.  Thank goodness for a PVR!
5. Walking around town at night looking at all the light decorations and how they chase away the darkness of winter.
6. My mother-in-law's dainties.
7. The light string on my tree.  This small light string has 14 different settings.  I love the blinky   one. 
8. My reindeer decoration that we've had for years.  His nose is still glowing strong!
