i will forever think of today ever so fondly as the "eve of christmas eve"
i can still hear my mom joyfully exclaim those words.
oh, how i wish i could hear it this christmas [or any time of year for the matter]
this is my 10th christmas without her around,
but there are still many things that make me think of mom at christmas [and throughout the year]
making + decorating sugar cookies [with icing]

what about the holidays reminds you of mom?
I love that she would say "the eve of Christmas eve!" How festive :)
ReplyDeleteIts the little things that make me think of my mom, like always having a bird in every Christmas tree or writing out the menus to review the next year. Hope you're having a good eve of Christmas eve! :)
