My Favorite Christmas Memories #2

I have many favorite Christmas memories from grade school!  The class parties, exchanging Christmas gifts for Secret Santa, the Christmas programs filled with songs, speeches, and plays!  Oooh...Ahhh...such fun times; such happy times!  Those memories flood my mind and give me such a feeling of warm fuzzies!  They make me revel in the moments with Noah and Gillian, knowing they are only but for a moment!

When I was in grade school, these mesh stockings were the thing to get!  They were always filled with all of the great candy!  My brother and I would eat for a few days from theses stockings!  Are they still available?

I'm not so much of a candy buff now, unless of course it's chocolate; but back in the day, around Christmas I loved eating candy canes!

Who doesn't love Christmas cookies?  My favorites then and now are sugar cookies!

Hot Chocolate!  So warm and delicious on those cold evenings while watching movies or wrapping gifts!  Funny thing though, I didn't like marshmellows in my hot chocolate until I was much older!  Now, it's just not complete without them!

Well, there are many more favorites that I could add to this list, but finding just the right images to represent them would be challenging at best, to find!  One of my most favorite memory is one evening my mom, grandmother, and I went to Jefferson Square to by gifts on "the list".  This was an outdoor shopping center that everyone went to.  Well, this one particular evening it was misting rain, the temperature was crisp, the lights were bright and pretty, and people were everywhere!  I know it doesn't sound like much, but for me it stands as one of my best memories.  I love Christmas! 

Merry Christmas, my Friends!
