Christmas Cookies and Holiday Hearts



I LOVE THIS SONG!! It represents my childhood Christmas!


My sister and I would put this record on the record player and dance and spin and make up dances to all the songs.
My mom would make cookies as fast as she could,
and then hide them as fast as she made them,
so that I would not EAT them as fast as I could.


I love Christmas cookies! Especially the Lincoln Logs, the snowballs, the nut cups and the cut out cookies with the icing.


What is your favorite cookie? And WHY??

Do They Know its Christmas?



I know that it dates me so...but it is JUST NOT Christmas with out hearing this one at least once.  I remember shoppping at the mall and squishing up against the clothes rack to hear it better!!


I was CRAZY for Duran Duran in high school...my favorite, John, is 10 seconds into the video!!!! He plays the bass guitar so you can see him rocking out with the other bass players at the 2 min mark and beyond.  SQUEAL!!!
(OK I'm back...)  Can you even identify all the bands/singers present??


Anyway, enjoy!! I have much to do. Now that I have decorated the blog, I must decorate my home, help in Tallen's class, make cookies, make chocolates, visit with friends, get ready for new babies in the family (no - not me...) the list goes on and on.


Happy Getting ready for the Holidays!!!


what songs, traditions make it "the Holidays" for you??
