Tammy:

Spending quality time with family and friends. We do a lot of cooking, baking and even make a few different candies.
I love Christmas movies...So every year I watch The Sound of Music, A Christmas Carol and my all time favorite is It's a Wonderful life!!
My husband and I always get bundle up and walk around our neighborhood and look at all the Christmas lights, we do that often...I love Christmas lights.
Christmas Eve is a big gathering...a huge meal. Before we eat, we go around the table and each person will say what they are Thankful for...we have been doing this for years. ....These are just a few of my family's traditions.

Tammy thanks for sharing this with us and giving a glimps into your life!

And today we have another image in the spotlight and that is going to be on sale from today!
