That Festive Feeling.

Everyone who reads my blog knows I've got the Christmas spirit....(Don't tell, but I try and have it all year long)

That glorious festive feeling that sends tingles from your head to your toes.
I'm spreading it like a virus to everyone I know.
I give it to family, to friends, to bloggers galore.
To strangers, to store greeters and I'll give even more.
I spread the Christmas spirit to everyone I meet.
I want them to feel it from their head to their feet.
The glorious love that abounds from within as I celebrate Christmas with you and my kin.

A little cheesy I know but I started and couldn't stop, giggle.

Merry Christmas from my home to yours.

                    See that package on the right. Stop by on Sunday for my next post.

Our living room is mostly cream and gold this year, not too many decorations. 

But enough to make it look like Christmas time.

 My Favorite angel comes out every year to rest in front of the fireplace

 The Dining room and family room are decorated mostly for our grandchildren.

Except for this handsome reindeer who rests on our dining table

Mr and Mrs Clause stand guard at the back door

Snow people are on display in the family room, up high and down low.

 There's even Mr Clause in our bathroom downstairs.

He'll cover his eyes when someone's in there.Wow, I'm rhyming a lot in this blog.

 There's more but you get the idea. We even have one of those rocking and singing reindeer. 

hee,hee....more rhyming

Candy Canes

Candy Canes

The candy cane, it’s one of Christmas’s “fun foods” you can eat it, decorate with it , put pipe cleaner antlers on it, and lick it until your tongue turns red. It’s one of the “sweetest Symbols, of the holidays.

Candy canes came from the creative minds of European choirmasters, who bent candy sticks into the shape of shepherd hooks to present to children attending the Crèche ceremonies. Candy canes came to America in the 1900’s and a few red stripes were added to the peppermint sticks. I’ve often heard that the three red stripes represent the Holy Trinity. What have you heard? I’ve also heard that the hard candy represents the solid foundation of the church and the peppermint flavor represents the hyssop used by Jesus for purification.

So now you know a little something about the candy cane. It’s not just a fresh breath making treat, or a delicious holiday decoration, it’s symbolic too!

Remember the reason for the season.
