The Best Things About the Holidays
- Eating sugar cookie dough when your mum isn't looking
- Tromping through the woods to get a real tree, which will inevitably look rather Charlie Brown-ish once we get it home
- The big, juicy orange in the toe of your stocking
- Camping out on the living room floor with the cousins
- Sledding at the golf course
- Freshly extinguished candles
- Making lefse with the ladies of the family
