Howdy in Blogland

Hope all is well with each of you and I'm not sure there is anyone even reading this anymore but what's important is that I have a place to just be and say whatever is going on in my crazy mind, lol.

Last night and today i've been thinking about Favourite holiday memories or traditions.

-I love, love, love the National Lampoon's Christmas movie - I never tire of watching it and laugh just as hard, if not harder at times.

-I miss with all my heart our big family Christmas in 100 Mile House surrounded by mayhem, madness, great food, laughter and always lots of love!

-The smell of a real tree, nothing beats it!

-Mom's stuffing

-The excitement of Christmas Eve as a child is still such a strong memory and it's wonderful seeing it on children's faces

-Snow, crisp, slowly drifting down from the starlit sky

-The smell of turkey cooking in the oven

-Friends stopping by to say hello, enjoying the holiday spirit and the sharing of friendship

-Turning off all the lights except for the Christmas tree lights and enjoying the sight

-Memories of our toboggan and Vernon Mann pulling us up and down the driveway of the trailer park in 100 Mile

-Christmas here when Michele, Cary and the boys drove all the way here to spend it with us!!

What are some of our favourite memories?

Wishing you and your family a most wonderful Christmas and that 2010 is filled with memories of love, laughter and happiness.
