Happy Holidays!

I always smile with happy thoughts
when I begin to reminisce on childhood favorites
during Christmastime.

A time for decorating the Christmas
tree. A time for yummy candy canes and cookies.

A time for watching all the Christmas
themed movies and cartoons. A time when you can't help
singing the songs "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and
"Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

A time to visit Santa at the mall.
A time to wear your new Christmas party dress. A time to
view all the streets of houses decorated with bright
colorful lights.

A time for hot chocolate next to
the fireplace. A time to celebrate together.

A time for giving.

Happy Holidays! :)

    Happy HOlidays Lisa.... I hope you have a wonderful Christmas...

    I'm a wee bit envious of your childhood ... can't say I have too many happy childhood memories.... or even young adulthood... but I make up for it now. The past 28 years of my life have been the best Christmases ever...
