We sing "Stille Nacht" every year and I make pfeffernusse and stollen and lebkuchen. Would not be Christmas without them!

So many favorites:
Religious: Joy to the World; Mary, Did You Know?; O Holy Night; The Nightingale's Song
Secular: Silver Bells (my mother's favorite)
Humorous: All I Want for Christmas is a Hippopotamus
Instrumental: Carol of the Bells
I love Christmas music and have been known to play it all year round!
Favorite sweet: Carrot cake and Italian Cream Cake and cherry pie
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season with a great New Year!

You can also make your own. Barley Lollipop recipe:

The molds used to make barley candy were cast iron & are no longer made. You can find them for sale as well, but you'll need a deep purse.
Once refined sugar became more available they stopped using barley sugar. The candy made now is now called Clear Toy Candy & has no barley in it.

Many beautiful songs fill my head every Christmas season but the favorite always is Anne Murray, the fabulous Canadian singer's, "If I had one wish this Christmas." It has even more special meaning since I have lost two amazing husbands but they are always with me! As to sweets and treats, I love Tipsy Cake but I miss making goodies with Mama even more than eating anything sweet!
