A Christmas Visit With Mother Combs

With Christmas coming on, I thought my readers would like to know a few Holiday facts about me. So, I have compiled a list of ten Christmas Facts about me.

I would also like to encourage my readers to share ten Christmas Facts about themselves with us. It can be whatever you want, as long as it concerns the Christmas season.

1. My favorite Christmas movie is It’s a Wonderful Life. It is a hard choice, but that is the one I would have to pick. James Stewart was excellent, as usual. You should watch it once if you have never seen it. There is a reason it is a Christmas Classic.
2. My favorite Christmas song is any of the old Christmas Carols. I love listening to classic Carols on Christmas day. I only listen to them on Christmas day, too. I will change the station if they come on the radio before Christmas.
3. I have never drunk eggnog. I have no desire to. I would like something more appetizing to me. I have smelt it and did not like the smell of it, so I did not try it.
4. I hardly eat sweets during the year, but something about Christmas always makes me want to eat holiday cookies and fudge while drinking cocoa with peppermint. The more Christmassy the cookie, the more likely I will pick it to eat.
5. The Elf on the Shelf is creepy. If I were a kid, he would give me nightmares. No doll should be able to “move” on its own. I would be scared I would wake up with it in bed with me.
6. I taught my kids that whoever gave a gift was Santa Claus. I explained to them that some parents told their kids a big story to make Christmas more fun and asked my kids not to spoil it for any other child who said they believed in Santa. My children kept the secret. They enjoy being Santa.
7. I don’t watch Hallmark Movies. I find them too corny and cry from the sheer stupidity of the plot. Sorry. My feelings on the matter.
8. I love Christmas Decorations. The lights, the tree, the bells, and everything. I love it all. Colored Lights can make an old house look like a gingerbread house. I could look at the decorations all day and never tire of it.
9. I once went out caroling with a youth group. It was a fun experience. Even though we all sounded terrible, we still put a smile on people’s faces. I don’t remember what I got that year for Christmas, but I’ll never forget going out caroling.
10. I can guess any gift with a ninety-five percent success rate, no matter the type of wrapping paper and box you put it in. I have been able to do this since I was thirteen years old. My stepmom told me I was not allowed to touch the gifts, or else I would know all my gifts.

Come on in

Sit on down

Where have you been

I’m so glad you came around

Sit by the tree

I have a gift for you

Would you like to drink cocoa with me

No, I didn’t buy you shoes

Sit and visit

Talk with me for a while

Here, have a biscuit

I sure do love your smile

I’m glad you stopped by

We’ll have to do this again

I know you have to fly

Don’t forget your present, then
