My mom would bake and bake dozens of types of cookies and fruitcake and make sure there were lots of hard candies of may types, and snacks and appetizers on the day. I was talking about the food on Christmas last night with my friends and I could not remember what we had for the meal. No surprise that, with my memory issues. So I must ask my sister today when I talk with her.

But what I remember best from childhood was the Christmas music my mom would play. I still play the same music, with a very few more recent additions.
