One of my favorite things as the holiday season approaches is the chance to watch some great favorite movies. And for many this has very much become part of their own holiday traditions If you have children then you know that the school plays and concerts are also very much a tradition at Christmas time. And if you don't have kids, well, you might try and attend one this year at a school near you. They are quite fun Which is your favorite movie(s)? Die Hard? Really! ❤️ 😊

Pickles, and notably dill pickles, seem to be all the craze lately. From deep fried to burgers that instantly come with "extra pickles, and pickle flavored ... well, everything. The "pickle" has even made its way to our Christmas trees There is some controversy as to how the Christmas pickle came to be. There are stories that claim they came from an old German tradition, and other stories that it was merely a marketing plot to sell off excess stock at a store. No matter what the truth might be pickle shaped ornaments have been popular for many years Do you have a story to share about the pickle ornament that gets hung on your holiday 🎄 tree? We'd love to hear it

What would Christmas be without this ever loved figure whom children have been told for centuries brings gifts to all the children of the world Every country sees him differently and have different traditions about how he visits children during the holiday season Even as we grow up and stop believing (or do we) in the magic that is Santa, we still flock to the malls, the Christmas parades, and school events just to see the joy in our own children's eyes. And every Christmas Eve we send our children to bed telling them that Santa can't deliver their gifts until they are fast asleep Do you have a special tradition at Christmas time around this beloved figure?
