 Every family has thier own Christmas traditions.  Some of my favourite revolve around food, starting with the advent calender with little hard chocolate morsels. I never said it was good, just tradition.    Christmas food is about comfort and nostalgia,  I used to love my grandmas jellied carrot salad, made with lime jello. It was my favorite part of the christmas feast.  As I got older it was about cabbage rolls, and perogies, hand made with love in the weeks leading up to Christmas, and turkey with all the fixings.    Decorating sugar cookies was always a day of fun and creativity, I like to think I have gotten better at presenting a finished product, but i am still not an artist. And my kids and neices and nephews helping make the event that much better.

 Christmas is coming    I love Christmas!!   I love spending time with family, I love giving gifts,  I love the decorations,and I LOVE the food.    I have beautiful ornaments that belonged to my grandmas, and paper ones made by my kids.    I have a box of favorite recipies that we make every year,  including fruitcake, cookies, dinner  sides, and every year we find a new treat to add.   I love the old movies, but am always excited to find a new classic,  I love the music, the old songs,  the new songs, the music in church that everyone knows and sings with their whole being.    I love making crafts with my kids and I love making Christmas gifts for the people who mean the most to me.  But the thing I love most, is spending the time with my family.   The traditions, the history behind the traditions.     I hope to share this love in some small way with everyone who stumbles ...
