Christmas: My Favourite Time of Year!

@ Jamala, oh thank you for posting these lovely Christmas songs.
They warm my heart and soul, and that is because they are so
beautiful and also that I love Christmastime ~

Perfect time for me to start listening to the old carols, and newer ones
also, I don't grow tired of them, they always lift my spirits đź’— and carry
special meaning and memories~

Very nice, Thanks Jamala! Things are pretty much the same here.

However in my state, pantomimes are not big and altho' we know about the yule log, it's not significant anymore.

We settle for the chocolate logs..so yummy and my SIL makes the most beautiful ones.
Taking the children to see a panto and I am going to have a lot of fun too!
 
Jane Seymour joins the Mormon Tabernacle Choir providing narration for the traditional carol "Good King Wenceslas" for the Christmas special of Music and the Spoken Word, "The Spirit of Giving," featuring the Orchestra at Temple Square.

 
When we were little, one of our biggest treats at Christmas was a visit with our parents to Hamleys toy store in Regent Street, London. We were each allowed to pick one toy and have a picture taken with Santa.
Then our father would wander off (later we found out, to buy the rest of our Christmas presents armed with a list provided by our mother) while we listened to a story read by Santa.

That's very sad :( but sometimes circumstances turn us away from things we used to love.
Enjoy whatever you do anyway :)
 
Another Christmas tradition in our family is taking the children to see the Nutcracker ballet. I actually danced in a production of the Nutcracker one year.

The origin of the Nutcracker, a classic Christmas Story, is a fairy tale ballet in two acts centred on a family's Christmas Eve celebration. Alexandre Dumas Père's adaptation of the story by E.T.A. Hoffmann was set to music by Tchaikovsky and originally choreographed by Marius Petipa.
