Am I still a "Kid" or what??

Tonight Rudolph is on!

There's just somethin about the Holiday Season that always brings the "Kid" out in me!
Ever since I can remember, I NEVER miss the airing of
Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman,
How the Grinch Stole Christmas,
The year without a Santa Claus,
and Santa Claus is coming to town!

How can I watch these over and over again some may ask or even roll their eyeballs when I admit I still imbibe! LOL It's like this.....If I give in to total adulthood I'm losing the inner Child in Me forever and grow "Old". ;-)  The Child in me that enjoys Hot Cocoa with marshmallows, licking the spoon when baking, the excitement of the first Snow, watching my favorite Holiday Cartoon type shows, *Presents*, singing Carols, Candy Canes, Seeing Santa at the Mall from afar, Making a Snowman, Snow Angels, sliding, and so much more.

I LUV the Holidays more than Autumn even.
(Which I can't believe I just typed!)

 Here's some things I most love about the Holiday Season as an adult!
(In no particular order)
Baking for Friends and Family
Candle Light Church Service
Chex Mix
Christmas Morning brunch
Miracle on 34th Street
Decorating
Sitting in the darkness and looking at the lights on my
Tree and Mantle
Snowmen
Relaxing wrapped up in a super soft "Blankie" ;-)
Fireplace glowing
Rice Pudding warmed with Cinnamon Sugar and Raisins
Hershey-ettes
Traditions
Potataskur
Being complimented on how My Oyster Stew is...
 just like Mom's was
(I only make this because some of my Family actually enjoys the crap!
I say yucky poo-ie)
Rosettes
Krumkake
Lefse
FAMILY

I am made up of Swedish,German, and
Norwegian bloodlines!
You may have guessed by some of the foods I listed? Ha Ha
Tradition has always been big in my Family. Even though my sweet Mother is no longer with us I strive to honor her each year in the role model she was for me. She taught us kids alot about Love, Memories,
Traditions to be carried on, Cooking,
and that Jesus is the reason for the season.

Hoping you all enjoy the hustle and bustle as it soon will be gone again for another year.
Hug your loved ones......and most of all
tell them you LOVE them.

Ta Ta for now.....

Life *Sucks* when your computer takes a "Dump"

Yep.....I've been gone for a long time and it's gonna be a bit longer. Hopefully I'll be back to blogging after Thanksgiving......This "Sneaking" on at work is tough! LOL

For now I'll leave you with a Pic of my sweet little Christmas Tree :-)
