We have some similarities but tamales,don't think we ever had one even when went to Mexico, guess we didn't know enough to order one to try (probably scared of the heat)But it was close to Christmas when we went and i loved that they had beautiful Christmas things; came home with tons of handmade ornaments like God's eyes and shell things.... <br />Lincoln logs- never heard of them but they look like fun to play with. It sounds like you had wonderful Christmas foods and fond memories, thanks for the tell'in and Christmas shar'in.Lorrainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503904212738268753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21266501065347284.post-20010434446245021292010-12-18T16:51:26.638-08:002010-12-18T16:51:26.638-08:00OMG - Bunny, we had the same Christmas experience!...OMG - Bunny, we had the same Christmas experience! I was in awe of ribbon candy always wondering how they made them. We always had a real Christmas tree but my aunt and uncle who lived up the street from us had a silver aluminum tree with the same color wheel. Growing up in Hawaii we never had tamales but I know I would have loved them. My mother always had a bowl of nuts around tho I'm not a big fan of them but we always had a few tins of those Danish butter cookies. And as for Lincoln logs - loved them! Thanks for sharing. By the way, I'm back so come over for a visit I'll have some hot chocolate waiting for you!<br /><br />xoxoxoxo, BonnieBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760707908402191293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21266501065347284.post-56629696964792473642010-12-18T02:20:05.681-08:002010-12-18T02:20:05.681-08:00Love this post - it's so true, there are defin...Love this post - it's so true, there are definitely some sights/smells/sounds that are just - well, Christmas! <br /><br />My dad had a nutcracker too - it was brass, in the shape of a crocodile, and it only ever saw the light of day during the last week in December! The sight and smell of chestnuts cooking also immediately brings back mny childhood. <br /><br />We don't have ribbon candy over here but that is so pretty!artangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445532628632432251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21266501065347284.post-52184149620102932622010-12-17T14:18:44.388-08:002010-12-17T14:18:44.388-08:00Oh the ribbon candy we use to go to this special c...Oh the ribbon candy we use to go to this special candy shop that was in someone's home and my grandmother would buy ribbon candy so thin you could almost read through it. If you bit a piece it would instantly melt in your mouth mmmmmmmmm as adult I have never see it that thin and the Nuts were in a bowl that looked like a chunk of tree hollowed out and we would pick a few that we could crack. Your right I can smell my dads pipe now. Thank you for the memories<br />cathyacorn hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503414190541111706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21266501065347284.post-6601157664961728292010-12-17T12:29:16.656-08:002010-12-17T12:29:16.656-08:00We had the aluminum tree as well.

Out color wheel melted on one side so it wobbled a bit. The spot light bulb was hot. There is a house on my way home that has an aluminum tree. We also had a cardboard fireplace we would set up as well. Oh the memories. Nuts and fruit in the stockings.<br /><br />Them's was the good ole days.

So pretty!<br /><br />Congrats to Racquel on the goats. She could teach these folks around here a thing or two about taking care of animals. I saw 4 chickens eating from a garbage bag the other day. I hope they aren't being raised for food themselves when they have to go eat from the trash. Yuck!<br /><br />Lincoln Logs -- I remember them well. And that ribbon candy sure looked pretty but tasted like bad medicine. We used to get those butter cookies every year, especiall when they would have the special edition tins.<br /><br />Nice holiday memories. Have a wonderful weekend.
