1. Getting together with friends and family
2. Christmas cards in the mail, they’re like jewels amongst the regular old stuff
3. Christmas baking, a chocolate chip cookie baked at Christmas time is just sort of different than a chocolate cookie baked in other months
4. Christmas movies come on. I like the old Christmas Carol movies the best, the ones with Alastair Sims, Reginald Owens, and Albert Finney.
5 The cheery. warmhearted spirit aloft in the air
6. Christmas decorations, beautiful lights glitter homes and the owners creativity beckons for a look
7. Nostalgia, forever kept in holiday music boxes, bulbs, and baubles
8. Christmas music, this year I’m really enjoying Andrea Bocelli’s My Christmas
9. Christmas TV programs, I’ve been watching the same shows for over 35 years and I still enjoy them as if watching for the first time
10. So many wonderful scents and smells in the air –the scents of evergreen wreathes, freshly-baked gingerbread, cinnamon sticks
