I love the sounds...
- the Salvation Army bell ringers in front of store.
- almost all Christmas carols. I especially love the older ones popular with carolers.
- a house full of people laughing.
- the glee of a small child when they finally spot Santa at the mall.
- Gluhwein, because it reminds me of walking downtown when I lived in Wiesbaden.
- cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pretty much any food that contains them. Those are my favorite type of candle, too.
- a real Christmas tree. I hate vacuuming up the needles out of the carpet until February (or March), but I can't give up the way it makes my house smell.
- A Christmas Story ("You'll shoot your eye out!" "It's a major award!")
- Christmas Vacation ("Merry Christmas. Shitter was full." - best/worst movie line EVER!)
- A Charlie Brown Christmas (I love Linus' monologue at the end. Don't judge.)
- candy canes, peppermints, peppermint bark, etc.
- gingersnaps, gingerbread (especially a recipe that I have from my aunt. I need to post that sometime.)
- those Brach's hard 'ribbon' candies.
- Terry's Chocolate Orange Ball (Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Toffee Crunch...I'm not picky.)
- warm apple cider, full of spice, especially if you can see cinnamon sticks and whole cloves floating in it.
- sweet potatoes. I figured I should add something nutritious to the list!
- lights, of all kinds. I like lights on trees, houses, professional displays, and even when a student just puts a string around their dorm window.
- bright wrapping paper.
- gingerbread houses.
- the delightfully tacky things kids make at school and bring home. (Maybe I can find a picture of the wreath my kid made out of toilet paper cardboard rolls. Charming.)
