box

There are just certain things that make it feel like”Christmas”. For my family this was four fold:

  1. The Christmas tape
  2. Mom’s gingerbread houses
  3. Mom’s Christmas candies
  4. Christmas music (specifically The Carpenter’s)

Anyway, last night after church Kristin and I went to Palatka, because we’re spending Christmas with her family. However, today I had to drive back to work a shift at Target. So I got home tonight at about 10:45 and I was a it bummed. Alone on Christmas eve eve without a cell phone…It doesn’t get much more lonely. Then out on the porch arose such a clatter! It was my neighbor/landlord Patti. She said that a box had come for me and she picked it up because she thought we were gone for the holidays. To my delight, it was a box of mom’s homemade Christmas candy! Homemade caramel, peanut butter cups, glass candy, and sugar cookies! What makes Christmas for you?
