Candy at Peluso's

Christmas time is a time of holiday traditions. One of ours is to take all the kids to Peluso's Market on Monmouth Street to buy "holiday candy."




Jimmy called us today and said to meet there at 5:30 PM.


The kids loved filling up the paper sacks with gum drops, peppermints, chocolates and hard candy.


Afterwards we walked out back for my favorite part, looking at (or rather smelling) the fresh cut Christmas trees for sale.

Mmm, the timeless fragrance of pine takes me back to my childhood when we had a "real" Christmas tree every year. Sudddenly I am six years old again!

I know it is Christmas time, once I smell that wonderful pine!
