Christmas Eve Memories
The Christmas season holds a ton of memories of traditions
we celebrated as children and then pass on to the next generation. Hallmark has done a great job of capturing
those moments with the Making Memories series, and they’ve got another winner
for us with Milk and Cookies.
As the title suggests, this year our snowpeople are leaving
milk and cookies out for Santa. They are
standing next to the small table with a pretty light blue table cloth on
it. The cloth has a red fringe and some
snowflakes stitched onto the bottom. The
child has just put a plate with three frosted sugar cookies on it, and the
adult is setting a glass of milk on the table.
And how do I know this is being left out of Santa? Because there is a note there written by the
child that says “For Santa” on it. After
all, we want Santa to know they were left out on purpose. Otherwise, he might think we were naughty,
not picking up after ourselves.
The added bit of cuteness?
The family’s kitten is peeking out from under the table.
As usual, this scene is placed on a snowflake shaped base,
so it could easily be set on any flat surface to be displayed. But if you want to add it to your Christmas
tree, you’ll find the loop in the adult’s hat.
It’s not quite balanced, but close enough that you’ll never know when
you get a few Christmas tree branches around it.
This series continues to make me smile each year. The snow characters are always charming, and
the memories they evoke is fantastic. Even
when the activity is something I might not have done, I can still get the
appeal. In this case, I do remember
leaving milk and cookies out for Santa when I was a child. The nostalgia inspired by this series is
absolutely off the charts. It’s why we
are on number twelve in the series with no signs of the series slowing
down. And yes, there is a 12 in a
Christmas tree on the bottom of the snowflake base.
I had to pick up Milk and Cookies. Like the rest of the series, it offers up
nostalgia for your tree.
Enjoy more warm memories with the rest of the Making Memories ornaments.
