25 Days of Christmas: Number 19

Number 19.

The "Peppermint Song".

One year, Tori and I always seemed to be in the car when we heard these lyrics:

"so leave a peppermint stick
for Old St. Nick
hanging on the Christmas tree
it's the holiday season
and whooped-de-do
and hickory dock
and don't forget
to hang up your sock
cause just exactly
at twelve o'clock
he'll be coming down
the chimney down"

My apologies for not knowing the actual title of the aforementioned song. We just always seemed to hear it. Literally, every stinkin' time. So, we sort of adopted it as our own little Christmas song. Every time I hear it now, I think of her and that specific time in our friendship.

Tori, what a sweet time that was. A real bonding experience for us I should say. You see friends, we were the ones heading up the planning for a huge party for our brothers. Every year we would do an appreciation for the guys in the fall/winter and then they would do one for us in the spring. Tori and I decided to tackle the project because the one the girls did the year before was pretty heinous. We wanted to make sure the guys in our group knew they were loved and appreciated, so as we spent countless hours out purchasing things for the night...our song would play!

Love you Tori!!!
