How do you prepare for Christmas? I’ve spent a few days in eager anticipation of this mystical holiday. I love Christmas. It’s a wonderful holiday thought it has little biblical foundation for the season. I love preparing, putting thought into gifts for others, and gathering with friends and family. The days between Christmas and New Year’s are time for thoughtful reflection, planning for the year ahead, and catching up on sleep while the world is on hold.
Here’s a few of my favorite Christmas treats:
Food:
- Challah – for French Toast
- Dinner rolls for Christmas supper
- Beer Bread for extended family get-together
- Sugar Cookies
Movies:
- A Muppet Family Christmas
- A Christmas Story
- A Nativity Story
- National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas – both versions
- Charlie Brown’s Christmas
- It’s a Wonderful Life
- Miracle on 34th Street
