I love the song My Favorite Things, from “The Sound of Music.” I’ve found myself humming it lately, thinking about MY favorite things this Christmas season.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites. When the bee stings. When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad
If my siblings and I could have added a verse to this song when we were kids, we would have also included some of our favorite toys. Let’s sing along together…
Troll Dolls & Barbies & EZ Bake Ovens
Legos & Twister & Rockem ~ Sockem Robots
Etch-A-Sketch & Hot Wheels & Lite Brite & Nerf
These are a few of my favorite toys!
So what about you? Hopefully you’re not still obsessed with Troll Dolls and Barbies. But what do you truly value in your life? The holiday season is such a great time to reflect on this question and prepare our hearts for a great new ahead.
