I’d never really thought about it before, but you’re right. How I celebrate Christmas and what I look forward to each year have definitely changed, reflecting different seasons in my life.
I think that the tradition that has stayed with me the longest is makiing Christmas goodies - cookies, candy, salted pecans, chocolate bark.
Some of it gets packaged and sent to family and friends, and some gets parceled out to new friends locally. People always light up when you hand them a tin of bark!!!
I'm so glad that I'm still able to enjoy that memorable tradition!!
I can hear the sweet notes of your father singing Sweet Little Jesus Boy. I don't hear it sung often these days. My family visited the church on Christmas Eve, read the story from Luke together, drove around to see Christmas lights in the most beautiful neighborhoods, and had a sip of eggnog at home before bed. Lovely memories!

It’s kind of fascinating, isn’t it?

It’s a wonderful tradition! I can attest to having received some of your goodies! Thank you for doing that😄

Doesn’t remembering just bring it all back close for you?
Lovely, Kathy.
Thank you, Becky!
