Welcome Speakies to December:
Here we are starting the last month of the year December 2011. The year has flown by and one of my favorite holidays is approaching like light speed. You can say it I’m a kid at heart I love the Christmas season with all the outdoor decorations, lighted Christmas trees, the Christmas scents and all the excitement that goes with it. I still recall my childhood days, shopping the various stores downtown, going in and out to keep warm, the Salvage Army bells ringing, kids going up to see Santa, the smell of hot peanuts coming from the Planter’s Peanut Shop and carrying all those packages and getting on the bus to go home. I remember Christmas Eve’s at my grandparent’s house and all the great Polish food, going to Midnight Mass and waking up on Christmas Day to see what Santa brought me. I’m sure each of you has your own special memories of December and Christmas. My happiest holiday memories are that of Roe and our sons when they were little and seeing all the innocence of Christmas relived by them and now my grandchildren and the joy of the holidays in their hearts and eyes. December is a beautiful month no matter where you live as long as you hold the true meaning of Christmas always in your hearts.

Today is “NATIONAL PIE DAY.” I would have to say my favorite pie is the good old fashion Apple Pie. I don’t like it loaded with tons of hard apples; a nice regular crust with soft apples is the pie for me. I also favor blueberry, lemon meringue, chocolate and of course good old pumpkin pie.
I think there are plenty of holiday memories to share and if you would like please send me yours using the comments available to all. Have a great day.
