    Nothing says Christmas is coming more than hearing Nat King Cole's Christmas Song...Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, Yultide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like eskimos...then the strings come in. It's magical.

    For some reason, this is stuck in my head: "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....." It started when we had our first snow Friday evening and it's still going. Thanks for the chance to win- would love to take that whole Cocoa Daisy Christmas pack home.
