TBT!

                Everyone talks about their favorite Holidays and what makes it their favorite. Mine has to be Christmas. My favorite part of Christmas was before the day a few weeks before. My mom makes homemade Chex mixes every year to give away as gifts. I always remember helping her make it. When I was too young to use the stove my mom would melt down the butter with species and some other things that go in to the sauce. As unboxed the different Chex, pretzels, and peanuts that make up the mix. Then but it into a big container and mix it together before the sauce went on top. Once the sauce was ready my mom would put it on top and mix it all together. As she mixed it together some would fall out of the container and we would eat it. The best ones were the rice Chex that were just cover in sauce. Once my mom mixed it up and we would bake it. It didn’t take very long to bake but once it was done baking you could smell it though the house and it was amazing and that smell meant that Christmas wasn’t too far away. Once it was cool my mom would have to hind it away, so no one would find it and eat it. My brother always knew where she would hind it. She gave up one year trying to hind it after a while, because we would eat before Christmas anyway. It is the only time we get it, so eat it till it is gone and get excited once my mom makes it again. Most kids say Christmas is their favorite Holiday, because of the gifts they get or the time off from school, but I loved it for the food and the time I got to spend helping my family make the food. It is something that I hope to one day share with my children and past on to them.
