A Smoky Mountain Christmas - Dolly Parton

A Smoky Mountain Christmas

by Dolly Parton

This is taken right from the movie of the same name,

since it appears to have never been released as a single.

Love the song, love the movie.

Christmas tradition for me to watch it.

Day 31: Favorite Part of the Season?

How can I choose?

So much is great! The music, the countdown, giving gifts and receiving gifts,
the food, the movies and specials!

But, most importantly, the best part is taking the time to spend moments with friends and family, reminding ourselves what and who is important in life.



This was a fun challenge!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, or whatever,
and I wish you all a great 2011!

Day 30: Are You Sad?

Always a bit blue when it is all said and done.

So much fun stuff to do, as a family and with friends. That is why we celebrate from Thanksgiving to New Year's, so it isn't all just about "one day".

This year, things got a bit rushed towards the end and a few traditions and things got pushed to the very last minute or lost in the shuffle.
I hate when that happens and hope to do better next year.



And hey, the countdown begins all over again!

Day 29: Do You Believe In Santa

I believe in the spirit of kindness and giving that Santa represents.

We should all keep a bit of that - of him - alive inside ourselves, all year long.

Day 28: What Did You Feed The Reindeer

Well, this year we didn't leave anything for the reindeer.

Yeah, we dropped the ball. Was a very busy couple of weeks before Christmas.

Hopefully next year we will be better with getting everything accomplished!

Day 27: What Did You Feed Santa

My son used the mug and plate that are especially made for Santa to put out a drink of Hood Egg Nog and four cookies - two peanut butter with chocolate chip, 2 sugar.

I am sure Santa enjoyed it, as the Egg Nog was gone
and there was only one small piece of cookies left behind.
