| I Love everything about Christmas. I Love to shop this time of year. Everything seems cuter, sweeter, prettier... |
 |
| The preparation and family traditions. We could have survived without our chestnut stuffing, but finding these today, at World Market, made me happy. They are already out at William's Sonoma. Can't wait to tell mom I found them. |
 |
| Someting for the unexpected night that Momma yells out, "Kids, Stan they're Playing 'It's a Wonderful Life.'" |
 |
| An added treat on a woodland Christmas present. Those sweet little Christmas touches. |
 |
| Yes. Yes. I know. I aready bought little red Santas at Sees for my place-setting, but these will really match. I know the Sees chocolate won't go to waste....perhaps another party? |
 |
| We love being silly in our cracker hats. It's those little touches. Do we need them? Yes. I'd say we do indeed. As we go 'round the table each telling their joke or riddle....laughing and laughing. Wouldn't be the same without them in our house. |
 |
| More last minute gifts or snacks. Cute and festive. stacked high on a tiered cake stand...although I know my kids will gobble up my homemade fudge before these...Mamas fudge. Something they will remember about me. Making fudge for them every year. And, for this reason I will ALWAYS find the time to make it. |
 |
| Stars. Chocolate covered shortbread stars. They'll be so pretty in just the right dish. "Come quickly, I am drinking the stars!"....Dom Pérignon. Which reminds me, if we are chocolated-out (does that exist) they'll be pretty on New Year's Eve with a glass of sparkly. |
 |
| The lights, the sparkle and all the pretties. I couldn't resist this topper for my mercury glass tree this year. |
 |
| Lets put some on ice, if some friends come by....it would sure be nice! |
What fun things. I wish we had a World Market here :)

DeleteYou are so right. Everything is prettier and sweeter this time of year! Cheers
ReplyDeleteIt really is, isn't it? I am tempted even more than usual!!! Thanks for visiting!!
DeleteYou have inspired me to get out there and get some treats! Everything is very pretty - you are right. I remember having Sees chocolates when we lived in Southern California. Your fudge sounds delicious. I wish you a happy holiday season.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I should have mentioned that I really enjoy shopping EARLY. Soon it will be too crazy for me. I love to make fudge. I always used my grandma's recipe and then one year I started using Martha's recipe she posted in her Kids magazine. I'll have to find it (it's very old, but I have kept it and use it every year) Very easy and you can switch it up with and chips, nuts or candies!
DeleteYou picked up some wonderful treats! I love all the special things in the stores at Christmas too! Happy Thanksgiving! Angie xo
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was fun shopping day. I only went to World Market and Trader Joe's...but I took my time and appreciated that it wasn't crowded!
DeleteYou are making me very hungry with all this candy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know right? Hopefully I don't get into the stash. Still have at least 36 days! Wish me luck! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteSo many tempting goodies! Those holiday crackers sound like something we'd all have so much fun with. Thanks for sharing some of your holiday fun.
ReplyDeleteYes, crackers are a lot of fun! You should try them out this year. They pop too and look pretty on the table! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteWhat a wonderful reminder of how much fun Christmas goodie shopping can be. Love the chocolate figurines! We do crackers at our house too... always fun and there are so many to choose from now. Thanks much for your visit and sweet comments on my blog! :)
ReplyDeleteYes I try to not go to the store too much this time of year as I love and want everything!! That glass snowflake is beautiful.
