.Christmas is without a doubt my FAVORITE Holiday. As a child I remember waiting month after month to smell the fresh “truchas” { Canary Islands’ Christmas Dessert } made in my mom’s kitchen and the endless parties on Christmas Eve Night. I recall dancing all night long, singing Villancicos {Christmas Carols from Spain} while neighbors and friends would show up unexpectedly because in our home EVERYONE was invited! NO ONE WAS A STRANGER ON CHRISTMAS EVE!
.
Those memories of my childhood and youth have stayed with me forever and every year. I wait with anticipation to celebrate the greatest day of all and keep the traditions alive. Here are some Handmade Christmas Ideas, ideas and favorite Christmas Things that I have found around… Enjoy!
