We all have specific items, foods, places that bring back childhood memories, especially this time of year. For me, Polvorones (otherwise known as Mexican wedding cookies), bring back memories of being a kid during the holidays. This seemed to be the only time my Gram made these melt in your mouth cookies. More recently my mother's homemade fudge is providing it's own memories of the holidays, that and Kevin's Grandma's peanut butter balls!
When I think back on those memories, especially of holidays spent with my cousins Ruth and Kim, I can't help but think of the holiday traditions that my children will carry with them. Will they have a favorite cookie that I will make for them? Will they too love the movie, The Christmas Story? (Funny side note: Kevin hates this movie, probably because I watch it over and over the days preceding and during the holidays (it runs continually on Christmas day on the TNT channel).)
