THE CHRISTMAS MAGIC
Price: $16.99
Far, far North, when the nights are longest and the stars shine brightest, Santa begins to prepare for his big night of giving. He gathers his reindeer, feeds them parsnips and berries, and polishes his bells and his sled. Then lovingly, he chooses toys for every child in the world. For Santa loves them all, and he knows what each child at heart wants most. Then, with the thrum of magic that makes reindeer’s fly, he spreads the Christmas joy and warmth throughout the world–as he always has — and always will until the end of time. From best-selling author Lauren Thomas, and Caldecott Honor Artist Jon J Muth

THE NUTCRACKER AND THE MOUSE KING
Price: $18.99
On Christmas Eve, Godfather Drosselmeier has arrived with gifts of marvel and enchantment for his young godchildren. Goddaughter Marie falls in love a bewitching nutcracker doll and claims him as her own. Yet when the clock strikes midnight, something terribly amazing happens to Godfather’s handcrafted toys…they come alive. Marie is swept off her feet on an incredible journey with the Nutcracker in this astonishing classic story by E.T.A. Hoffman. Critically acclaimed artist Gail de Marcken’s stunning illustrations bring this spellbinding tale to life.

This DVD was SO cute! A mixture of cute, funny and a little serious as to Santa being real. Considering this is Spencers first year where is sort of understands Christmas, he is mesmerized be all things Santa! The boys were glued to it throughout the entire movie. Anything that can keep their attention for that long, gets a glowing recommendation from me! Pick this up for your children or another child in your life. It is money well spent in my opinion!

I have been with Royal almost 9 years now and every year, his grandfather sends us a wonderful delivery from Hickory Farms for Christmas. It is that little treat that we enjoy getting every year. In the past few years I have started to send it back to him as well as to my parents. With my Dad being gone now, it is a little thing my mom now has to look forward to that she doesn’t have to share

Mom Central was kind enough to send me a box of Hickory Farms Summer Sausage and Cheese to review. There are so many different kinds of meats and cheeses that I would love to be able to try them all! The box that we received had (2) 12 oz Beef Summer Sausages, (1) 7oz Pennsylvania Dutch Edam, (1) 6.5 oz Apple Pie Cheddar and (1) 7oz Sharp Wisconsin Cheddar.

I wasn’t sure I would be able to try something called Apple Pie Cheddar. The thought alone made me gag. My immediate reaction was that it would taste like Apple Pie with cheese on top! Not a very good thought. I was pleasantly surprised that it did not taste like Apple Pie at all lol It is a very mild and creamy cheese. Most Cheddar’s that I have had are tough when you cut them. The knife slide right through this one. I would recommend this cheese just as a cheese to try in general. As expected, the sausages and other cheese were just as good!

I have never tried something from Hickory Farms yet that I didn’t like. They have a great selection of things from meat to cheese to fruit! There is also a price range for everyone also from $4.49 to $125! If I could choose anything from their site it would be the Grand Gift Snack Tower!

There is always that person on your list that you have no idea what to buy for them. I do personally recommend something from Hickory. It’s a quality product that has been around for a over 50 years. They know their meat and cheese!

As if that wasn’t enough, need another good reason why you should buy Hickory Farms this season? For a limited time this holiday season, for each Party Planner Gift Box sold, Hickory Farms will donate $5 to Share Our Strength, a leading national non-profit organization working to end childhood hunger in America.  Additionally, for 40 of these gift items, Hickory Farms provides free military shipping, allowing our troops across the globe to share in holiday traditions.
