| This time of year and nuts always make me sentimental,LOL!
Really though it does because my husbands mom and dad,who everyone called Maw and Paw, every Christmas would give as their gift,because in the early days they were poor,
always made up a big box of nuts of everykind,peanuts, brazil
nuts,walnuts,hazelnuts,pistachios,etc. and fruit...oranges, grapefruit,red delicious apples,golden delicious apples,tangerines,large can of coffee,and hard candycanes for the kids and tie it up with a great big bow. The thing was by the time they fixed up 9 boxes like that,it wasn't cheap. I'll tell ya we looked forward to that every year. It really came in handyAnd so that's what we all did during the holidays,crack nuts eat tangerines and have an apple to share or make a pot of coffee for company,wonderful Christmas memories with Maw and Paw. Now they're both gone,and we all sure miss them. But, I try and stock up on all that stuff. Makes me want to give that this year to my kids for Christmas,just talking about it
