I think our mom's favorite holiday was Christmas. She would decorate the house with Christmas candles, red stockings hung over the fireplace, poinsettias, festive pillows, and pine centerpieces. Besides the big tree that Dad would set-up in the front room, Mom had numerous small decorated trees that she would put out by the fireplace or in the front room. With Christmas music in the background, we helped her bake dozens of holiday cookies and bars - so many that the refrigerated ones often lasted into the summer. And they were just as delicious in June as they were in December.
