Olivia's Favourite Things

Raindrops on roses and sugar on smoked ham....these are a few of my favourite things! Oh how I love Christmas and the things that make it such a special time of the year. The smell of ham baking, the sweet scent of rum cake, twinkling lights on the tree and the festive decorations. The heart-warming movies and the beautiful, soulful songs. And most important, spending the special occasion with those you love. No amount of great food, liquor (well maybe if you drink enough until you are in danger of passing out) and pretty trimmings can make you enjoy Christmas, if you are in the company of people you have to pretend to like or barely tolerate. Christmas is about love, and the people we love-they are the icing on the cake of the magical transformation our world takes on during the holidays. Reminiscing, making new memories, laughter, reunion. Love!

Here are some of my favourite things:

Movies

Muppets Christmas Carol

Miracle on 34th Street
