I have the warmest memories of Christmas at my grandparent’s home in San Jose, California (if you’re LDS, imagine Christmas in the temple—with lots of goodies!). My Grandfather would gather us and read the Christmas story in Luke 2. We would sing, play games, and exchange gifts. My favorite treat was the rocky road candy my grandmother made with marshmallows and nuts covered in chocolate.

Thank you for taking part in the giveaway! As I get older, memories of Christmas when I was a child are becoming more and more important especially because we all gathered as a big family. Everyone is spread down the East Coast and getting together has grown more difficult so it’s comforting to draw upon Christmas’ past.
