A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Glad to know there’s a song! I will google it later.
I was going to put in a call to the North Pole to see if they could fix MsMadge up!
Katiekay,
I think we’ve all wanted odd things for Christmas as kids.
Baby Hippos are cute!

"Carol of the Bells"
My favorite thing right is eggnog lattes from Starbucks! I'm also loving molasses cookies!
Carol of the Bells by Trans Siberian Express is my go to song to pump me up for Christmas shopping, baking, you name it.
Carol of the Bells has to be my favorite.
On the box is: "Mamador", que contiene leche y mantequilla, es dulce que nos recuerda la suavidad de madres las que cantaban las poesias en los dias de nuestra infancia.... {okay, off to google translate..}
There is a Youtube video "pig eating crisps" - that's me with the millionaire's shortbread!
I stared at her confused. She said that her coworker is like me - single, no children. So her coworker bought a realistic baby doll, changes it, feeds it, etc.. like a real baby.
I looked at sis with horror. No!! Two of the realistic dolls will be used to guard against the bad spirits. I'm going to set them to face all entrances and ask them to guard the entrances from the bad spirits. And the 3rd one... I gave her a sheepish look and said, "I always regretted getting rid of my realistic twin dolls because you were afraid of them."
Sis looked apologetic and said, "I was always sorry that you got rid of them because I was afraid of them. It's my fault that I watch horror movies. That's why you're not afraid of dolls because you always avoided watching scary movies." Sis shuddered... She's still scared of dolls - especially those that looks so real...
I told sis that the 3rd doll is Not going to be treated like family. It's just a doll that I want. Hehehe... I'm currently window shopping on Ebay for it's eye glass frames because it doesn't come with eye glasses.
I'm with you when it comes to loving shortbread as well. Its the time of year for it, so I think its okay to indulge a bit.:-)
Have you guys ever had Nanaimo bars? Canadian specialty. Mmmmm. My grandma used to make 'em. She said they were expensive to make so she only made them at Christmas. The store bought ones are garbage in comparison.
Have you guys ever been to Nanaimo? Lovely place on Vancouver Island. Vancouver Island is also one of my favourite things. :-)
Also....BUMPing this over the troll threads. :-)
Happy to meet another Canadian. Yes, I love those Nanaimo bars! But I haven't yet visited Vancouver Island.
Just tonight I had pizza with bacon, spicy chicken and pineapple. Its one of my favorites.
cwillie - you might be lucky to have a good supplier of Nanaimo bars - all we get here are the President's Choice ones that come frozen. Not even close to grandma's! Or maybe it's my memories, lol...
We are neighbors and I'm in the province next door.:-) Still have family in Vancouver but I haven't been out to visit since 2008. Driving through Golden always freaks me out.
When you mentioned Nanaimo bars, I haven't seen them in awhile but I will have to go and look for them this weekend. Crazy to think Christmas is only 5 days away.
I don't know if it's the same in AB, but our Superstores and Extra Foods sell big flats of frozen Nanaimo bars.
What I remember most about hers was how thick the layer of chocolate on top was. And it was real, melt-all-over-your-fingers chocolate. And the base was chewier, and there was just something about the buttercream that's different. Damn, I wish I'd gotten her to teach me how to make them her way!
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes
I love thee Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
'Til morning is nigh
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the heavens
Look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on…
Now raise to heaven our voice;
He from whom joy streameth
Poor in a manger lies;
Not so brightly beameth
The sun in yonder skies.
Thou my Savior art!
Thou my Savior art!
Thanks for the suggestions. I still haven't found my bars yet, but maybe later in the week.
Merry Christmas everyone! Wishing you all love and peace.
