This point in time of the year during the years of 2000 through 2007 were different than the times of the year for 2008 through 2009, and thus were different from 2010 through 2012 before the difference of the years of 2013 through 2017; of course all were different than from before my head injury on Psalm Sunday #PsalmSunday in that year of 2000, though there is a distinctive difference from the years of 2018 through to now in the year of 2023.
The constant for the Christmases #Christmas from my childhood and my teenager years were Hungarian #Hungarian #Hungary #HungarianCookies cookies each Christmas, though after the year of 1999 was the difference.
In the years of 2000 through 2017 was when I made attempts for a similar though different in my own way of baking pies for Christmas, usually a pumpkin pie #pumpkingpie and/or a caramel pecan pie #caramelpecanpie #pecanpie . Though in the years of 2015 through 2017 I baked bread #bread also, for some spontaneity while continuing the tradition of pies I baked.
The years of 2015 through 2017 I also included a Menorah #Menorah #Hanukkah with some Christmas decorations, though the years of 2003 through 2011 was when I had heavily decorated during the Christmas season. In the years of my childhood through my early teenager years at Old Tennent Presbyterian Church #OldTennent #OldTennentPresbyterianChurch #Presbyterian #PresbyterianChurchUSA #ColonialPresbyterian was the involvement with the Christmas Drive Thru, after the earlier times of similar and yet varying factors of the Christmas scenes. In the 1990s my biological family would drive through different neighborhoods to look at Christmas lights and decorations others had put upon their house, though my biological father would usually put outdoor Christmas lights along the house in New Jersey #NewJersey #NJ #stateofNewJersey #NewJerseystate #NJTP #GardenState that were multicolor along the trim and sometimes in the bushes also. During the years of 2001 and 2002 my children with their biological father and I went to Illinois #Illinois #stateofIllinois #Illinoisstate for Christmas, and the baptisms #baptism occurred at those times in those years. At the time when my son was being baptized, I was pregnant with my daughter in that point in time as was learned that Christmas around the same time of learning the year before when I was pregnant with my son.
Depending upon the year depends upon the holiday memories, from the experiences at those points in time. I am thankful for the memories I have of those different years and those points in time, since there are so many during those points in time to remember.
