A Twinkle in my eye

I absolutely love the Christmas season! It just makes me so happy, and I also feel my heart swell with gratitude just a little more. There are a few things that put a twinkle in my eye this time of year...
1. Homemade English Tofee- my toffee recipe comes from my mom's great aunt, Violet, and it was secret for many years. We love it so, and think its the best. But I have broken the rule and

given out the recipe, so unless you don't make a million dollars selling it, I will gladly give it to you.

2. Trees on cars-I love the sight of Christmas trees being brough home from the lot tied to the tops of cars and vans...so very Norman Rockwell

3. Feliz Navidad-the song Feliz Navidad. When I hear that song, I can't help but laugh, and then sing it loudly. In our car the other day, we sang it creatively with our own hoots, and hollars, and a little scatting even.

4. Christmas lights-I really am a Clark Griswold at heart, and given the time and money, I would have every inch of my house covered in lights. I have heard some people say that house lights are obnoxious, and I disagree! Coming home at night as a kid to see YOUR house aglow, made my heart go pitter-pat, and I know my kids love it too!

5. Christmas themed baggies and cups-I know this is silly, but when I am in Target ane see the snowflake baggies, or snowmen on Solo plastic cups, I just love it! I just must buy them, because a peanut butter sandwich in a Christmas baggie is just the best!
