seeing the joy on my little ones face when she sees the snowy santa footprints..... (flour !! )

we use glitter for magic dust lol

My favourite thing about christmas is the memories. My big brother and sister would wake my up and say "lets see if santa has been" we'd creep to the top of the stairs and look through the bars to where the tree stood in the corner lit up and sparkling and smelling wonderfully of pine, and id say "yes yes hes been hes been, santy has been"

And wed rush down stairs and check that hed drink his milk and that the reindeer had eaten their carrots.

that is a lovely memory

My favorite thing about Christmas is all the food. The kids get healthy snacks without even realizing it.

My favorite thing is to have the house and tree decorated for the holidays. Seeing all the old ornaments are like seeing old friends. I've collected them over the years and they bring back memories. I've been Ill the past two years and have had no tree. I am hoping that now my husband is not away at school and has days on and off from work that we can decorate the house together. This is all I want for Christmas. It will lift my spirits. Alexandria

We had a little red bell that hung from the tree and it made the most wonderful tinkle when struck, it really sounded like the bells on santas sleigh and whenever I decorated the tree Id look forward to finding that bell just for the tinkle.

But one of my favourite things (sorry for hogging the thread) are sprouts.

From the time I was little and believed in Santa Claus and up until a few years ago it didn't feel like Christmas until I heard the sleigh bells and a deep ho, ho, ho ....

... a neighbour used to wander the streets in our neigbhourhood at about the time all good lads and lasses should be in their beds fast asleep, ringing his bells and shouting ho, ho, ho.

As a child lying in bed and hearing that I'd be off to sleep in a flash thinking Santa was coming and he'd best not find me awake!

As an adult the memory warmed my heart and made me smile wondering how many children were lying in bed with wide eyes and/or doing their best to fall asleep in a jiffy.

This wonderful man passed away two years ago. Even still on Christmas Eve I can still hear the sleigh bells and his voice calling ho, ho, ho. Maybe it's only in my memories ... and maybe not ... Christmas is after all a magical season.

My favorite thing about Christmas is baking cookies and making home made candy.

you all have some really beautiful memories, especially the one with the sanat bell. I really hope that you get your house decorated pozfem and i am so with you on the sprout sleepy
