Yulemas stocking stuffers

 an American Tradition since 1967!!


Stockings are to Me the best part of Yulemas.
Since as far back into Childhood as I can remember, 
The Stocking held such grand treats.
Pecan Rolls are the first Candy I remember getting.  
Along with a tiny doll that was very popular.

I still remember my 13th Christmas Stocking....
it held my first MakeUp and Beauty Treats.

Now I try to make our Stockings just as Magical.

No matter what Trinkets I may put in them,
like Movies, Gift Cards, Calendars, Make Up Bags...
the Candy Treats pretty much stay the same.



Ice Cubes are awesome.
Along with the Chocolate Icicles.
When I can find them.
Alas, it isn't very often.













Since the Chocolate Orange
{WHAM! Unwrap and Eat}
first came out {of. the. BOX!}
our Stockings have been blessed with one every year.









This is a fairly recent addition in the past decade. 
I just LoVe seeing Santa poking out of the top of the Stocking.



I discovered Botan Rice Candy with the Edible PaPer
from one of The Brother's Friends,
20 years ago.
It was a tradition for Her MoM to put them in Her stocking.





and who can resist Toblerone?
well, I can't anyway.
These are the NiNjas of Yulemas Candy.
They have a way of disappearing if you blink...


 This is definitely the most unique thing I put in the Stockings.
Odd, yet quite, Odd.
But Wonderful.



 Here's to the Magic of Stockings and the Things they are Stuffed with...
Santa knew.

Holiday Movies ~ Traditional and a few New

The ULTIMATE Holiday Movie!!

We all know the Classics.
We LoVe them
because they are The Classics.




Every so often, 
a new one will pOp up
that I like enough to add
to My List.









Some of the Newer Ones that I look forward to:

A Season For Miracles
*************
I've been a fan of Carla Gugino since Son In Law.
I actually didn't discover this movie til a few years ago
even though it was released in 1999.


Holiday in Handcuffs
*************
 Melissa Joan Hart...just sayin.
Quirky as always,
cheesy romance,
CHRISTMAS!


Friends and Lovers
************
 although, not technically a Christmas Movie,
its set during the Holidays.
Reminds Me of back in the day,
all The Singles gathering together,
Wynter Road Tripps.
Relationships..


Of course, the Classics:
*************

A Muppet's Christmas Carol

Scrooged

Elf

A Christmas Story

and what isn't there to LoVe about
It's a Wonderful Life
