"For this Friday let's read about five of your favorite things to do with Christmas...with a twist....you know me I like to do that....I mean who of you would've thought you'd find a word search here last week! LOL Ok so Five of you favorite things...here's how it works ...1. A Food 2. A Song 3. A Movie 4. A Tradition 5. A Gift" - Friday Five Group
1. FOOD - Cookies :) Christmas wouldn't be the same without them. This year we're making soft gingerbread, spritz and rum balls. I miss my grandmother's pepparkakor cookies. I wish I knew how she made them so thin!
2. SONG - I've actually been avoiding those radio stations playing nothing but Christmas carols this year, but I am enjoying Sarah McLachlan's version of Joni Mitchell's River.
3. MOVIE - The Polar Express - I associate this movie with my children. They always enjoy watching it several times during the season.
4. TRADITION - Getting together with family - Beginning with my childhood and continuing now, Christmas time has always been about family. I loved going over to cousins' houses, playing on beds piled high with coats, eating Swedish cookies, hearing laughter and sharing the warmth of the season.
5. GIFT - Now that I have children of my own, its definitely more fun giving than receiving. My gift is their joy.

We still have to watch Polar Express! :o)
It's been important for me to create traditions for Alex and our family so she has something to take with her when she starts her family. :o) Holidays weren't always the happiest of times in our home and I make sure Alex's memories are special .:o) I love our family time!:o)
