What is an old-fashioned Christmas? To me an old-fashioned Christmas is one that has a few family and friends come over decorate the house and the tree and maybe drink some eggnog or something stronger while eating cookies and candy. Doing this while a Christmas dinner is cooking in the oven of ham and scalloped potatoes and some sort of vegetable and for dessert there is pie, but still the cookies are the best. Settling down to open presents and maybe hearing the carolers coming down the street singing their hearts out for one and all a Merry Christmas, too.

Such a nostalgic Christmas tale beautifully written and full of heart.
You had me at eggnog (and maybe something stronger)! Happy Christmas!
