What does Christmas mean to you? Is it the smells, the sights, the sounds? For me its all those things. Its continuing a family tradition of going to see the Christmas lights at the Shrine of LaSalliete in Enfield NH–it used to be with our girls and now it continues with their children. Its baking my mom’s gingerbread cooky recipe–I used to help her make cookies when I was little. Now my 2 youngest grand daughters help me. It’s making homemade peanut butter cups with the two oldest grand daughters. Its watching Rudolph for the umptnineth time as well as Miracle on 34th Street (original version) and White Christmas. It is spending Christmas Eve with our girls and their families. Its remembering all the great Christmases with our parents and wishing/hoping they are watching us from heaven. Merry Christmas from Vermont.
