Email your address to [email protected] and I'll let you know what I have up my sleeve.
by sassychick ~ This was an easy one for me. When I think of Christmas, this is what comes to mind as my favorite memory growing up during the holidays.
We always spent Christmas Eve at my Grandparents in Billingsley, AL. They had a big house and we all piled up, my, my parents and my mom's two sisters and brother and their entire families in the great room which overlooked the living room. The great room was seperated from the living room by a gold railing that ran the length of the room. Every single person in the family had a stocking hung from that rail. On Christmas morning it wasn't about the presents, which there were ALWAYS too many of, it was about finding your stocking and see what it was stuffed with.
Those were the things that made me fall in love with Christmas and boy you don't even know how much in love with this time I really am.
by photochick~ It's Christmas Eve and I'm sure everyone is busy with their families and last minute preparations. However, we promised 25 days of Chickmas and we aim to please!
So, if you're surfing the web today before all the fun ensues tomorrow, tell us . . . what do you do each year on Christmas Eve?
Yep, it's just that simple. And one last opportunity to win a cool prize.

by photochick~ I have lots and lots of favorite Christmas recipes, so it's hard to choose. Since THE day is careening toward us, I thought I'd leave you with a fairly simple one that is oh so good. My mom always cooks a big crock pot full of apple cider. Not only does it taste delicious, but it fills the entire house with the most wonderful smell.
Homemade Apple Cider
Ingredients:
1 gallon Apple Cider
1 Large, Red Apple
1 Orange
Cloves
3 Cinnamon Sticks
Directions:
You will first fill the apple with cloves. Just stick the sharp end right in the apple like a bright light. Next, slit the orange in four places. You will still have one orange when done, but it will be sliced in four places.
In a regular sized crock pot, add the apple, orange, three cinamon sticks and fill the remainder of the crock pot with the apple cider. (You may add a quarter cup sugar if desired for sweeter taste, we don't do this.) Turn on high until it gets hot, then turn down to low. It should simmer on low for 2 or 3 hours until the smell fills your home and taste is to die for.
You may add more cider as needed to refill the pot.
