Let me know, does a brown paper bag with an orange, Christmas candy & peanuts sound familiar? I'd love to know I'm not alone. But feel free to share any of your childhood Christmas memories with me in the comments.
As a kid on Christmas Day, I did receive what was called an “Aguinaldo.” A handmade small basket made from cardboard decorated with crape paper filled with candy and fruit. No Christmas gifts until January 6, the day of Epiphany. Our home had no Christmas tree or Santa Claus, only a nativity. As we grow up, we started the tradition of incorporating a Christmas tree and gifts on Christmas Day.
@@marcyinspired1442 yes Marcy we always had a Christmas stocking that was filled with fruit, candy & nuts so it wasn’t actually a brown bag. Sometimes it would have cream drops or chocolate covered cherries, which were my favorites, and money too. Such sweet memories of my childhood Christmas ❤️
Marcy, we grew up very poor. I lived with my grandparents who did the best they could for me and my sister, for Christmas there weren't gifts under the tree like toys and such, but there was a sack just as you described, and it was filled with a lot of the same things you talked about. I look back on those times and they were a very special period in my life. Merry Christmas to you and all of your family.
You just described my childhood. The orange was such a thrill. The Church would bring the small brown paper bags, peanuts hard candies, yes the ribbon ones, but the Orange the orange. 🎄🎄
Mom filled our stocking with an orange and small bags of hard Christmas candy and bags of Whole roasted peanuts in the shell. I’d forgotten about this. Made me cry a bit. Such good memories
My mom did this too and would also add little trinkets she found second hand. I still have some of those trinkets and most of them are considered collectors items now.
It's amazing to find out our family's beloved brown paper bag, filled with fruit, candy, and nuts, was a shared experience! As adults, we honored the tradition, and I added a $2 bill to make it even more meaningful. What a precious heritage!
Growing up my dad was a cabinet maker. The Carpenters Union in Great Falls Montana always hosted a Christmas pageant every year. Us kids randomly would go on stage and sing Christmas songs all night long. After the pageant was over they gave each of us a brown paper sack filled with holiday hard candies, a variety of nuts, an apple and an orange. Such great memories! I’m making this pie for Christmas Eve dinner this year. Thank you for sharing it! Merry Christmas 🎄
My husband liked this recipe so I will be trying it for the holidays. He loves eggnog and it does look simple, right up my alley. And yes, we did get the bags of fruit, nuts and candies from church. Such a great memory. My uncle still hands these out at Christmas time. 🎄
Bonjour, My wife and I are watching from Trois-Revieres, Quebec, Canada. She followed your exact instructions for your eggnog pie, It came out absolutely wonderful! We will use your recipe to make more for our Christmas family parties!
When I was young (so many years...decades ago) tangerines were only available at Christmastime. My mom would buy tangerines, assorted nuts in the shell and, yes, ribbon candy. I have two sisters and a brother. We got those items in our Christmas stocking every year. Our stockings were the ones we wore, clean, of course. Such good memories. And yes, what would kids today think of that!? I like to think my 8 yr old grandson would embrace it. I think he would because he would have in mind the things that may be under the Christmas tree to make up for that! Merry Christmas, Marci and Tony. My God bless you and your family.
I've had quite a few people mention tangerines in the comments. I love that, those of us who are a little older, have an appreciation for these traditions. Merry Christmas & may God bless you, as well.
My husband and I were talking about this tradition from our childhood a few hours before watching your video! We love this memory. 🍊🍬 I’ll be trying this recipe for Christmas Eve. Thank you for sharing.
When I told my husband, he had never heard of such a thing, so I'm happy to be getting lots of responses like yours. It was definitely a thing when I was growing up. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pie. Thanks for watching.
Las Cruces is my Mother's land. Mexican food isnt the same without NM chili. Alot of memories watching you. Thank you for sharing NM recipes. So glad i found you.
Yes brings back wonderful memories when I was young it was a sweet treat for me. Sad that now days old traditions are being forgotten. Looking forward to more Christmas sites in New Mexico. Blessings and wishing you a Merry Christmas!✝️🌲🎅🎄
Yes......I grew up in Lubbock tx area. We would also receive the small brown paper bag christmas goodies you described. We had an apple too. I was like wow this is all mine. Ribbon hard candies were my favorite. Remind me of my dad. He used to love those. I love your home and christmas decor so much. My mom was from Tecolotito, nm
I remember fondly those brown paper bags, they had an orange, apple, peanuts, and candies called "colecciones" little round multicolored spiked balls with an anise seed inside. How precious my Christmas memory.
I was just telling my wife about those goody sacks last week when we went to our Christmas program at church and how they would hand them out at the end of our Christmas Eve church service when I was a kid in the 70s they were brown paper lunch bags or sometimes white bags with an orange mixed nuts in the shell and always hard Christmas candies just like you mentioned.
That's awesome! My husband had never heard of such a thing, and I told him, I bet there will be some who can relate. Turns out there's quite a few. Feliz Navidad!
Yes, different relatives would give us those treat filled paper bags. One of my Tio’s would go the extra mile and give us mixed nuts. We kids would sit outside with a hammer to crack the Brazil nuts & walnuts. Happy times and happy memories for sure M
Oh wonderful memories and yes I remember the hammer, I miss those days any thing would make us happy. Jumping rope, playing tag ,playing in the rain ,playing Jax. How I miss those days 😪
Our church would put a bag with one apple one orange the Christmas candy and nuts each child would get one ,my children that are now grand parents still remember how they looked forward to that paper bag ,great memories . Have a great Christmas God bless you and your family.
Marcy ,l remember those treat bags and the candies especially the bow ones.Those were meaningful memories when life was more simple and appreciated. Thank you for reminding me of those of those special moments.How times have changed .Wishing You ,Tony and your family a Blessed Christmas 🎄 🙏
Good morning, Marcy ☀️☀️ thank you for posting your recipes, I really enjoy them and often reminds me how to enhance and create in my kitchen. Have a beautiful day. Merry Christmas, you & your hubby 😃🛷🦌🎄🌹
Oh delicious recipe 😋 I have to make this pie. Yes I do remember having a lunch bag with lots of goodies. That was such a great holiday miss the good old days. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes. 😋 😊😊 Have blessed day 🙏
Hi Marcy, what a flashback use to get those brown paper bags filled with hard candies and peanuts in the shell, when I was in elementary school lol. Also gonna make the pie, looked yummy. Thx for sharing. Feliz Navidad to you and your family.
We were invited to a posada at a local seminary last year, and were given paper sacks as we exited the little chapel. It contained an orange, mexican candies, and peanuts. We later lined up for a warm cider-ponche navideno. It was such a lovely and Christ-filled evening. Hoping to participate again this year. 🎄💒
Yes marcy I remember that I was just talking to my husband about it we didn't have alot of toys but we had alot of love and we appreciate anything we would get ❤️ 😊
I will definitely try this “no bake eggnog pie”I love eggnog and look forward to every year! I’m still watching your video posts and even followed you during your move back to New Mexico. I wanted to comment on the brown paper bag of goodies. Having grown up in northwest part of New Mexico, we received this every year as a kid. This tradition continues today, in fact my niece is a teacher in a native school and she mentioned that they were filling brown paper bags a couple weeks ago, also my sister and her church members were doing this too. So yes, this tradition continues AND I miss it so much having moved to the west coast too many years ago. Bless you and Tony this holiday season, take care and stay safe, love and prayers!
Hello Marcie, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. I know nothing of the brown paper bag gifts you experienced. But, it did get me thinking of 1 tradition we had at Christmas, my mom's fudge. She is 82 now and is still the only one who can make it the way we all love and remember.
We used to get those bags from church. My parents would put the same thing in our Christmas stockings. We were never taught of a Santa Claus. We knew our parents did it and were excited every time!!
Your shared memory about the paper bag with food was great. What better way to share the joys of the Christmas holiday than with food, the gift of life! We hope to try the Eggnog pie for New Years eve.
Oh, wow! That's so cool that eggnog pie was a tradition in your family. I only heard of it for the first time a couple of years ago, but I really love it. Thanks for watching!
Yummmm Marcy delicious 😋. I remember having a red mesh stocking with apple, orange, banana, walnuts, pecans and Brazil nuts with ribbon candy. We were poor and were very happy to receive that and each of us also had a present under the tree. Marcy those are the most precious moments. I cried when you asked that question. Miss those days. The pie looks delicious and buy the way how's Rocky doing?
I remember the bags. We also got a candy cane and sometimes a small toy. I love it. Going to try this recipe. I do one that's baked. This seems easier. Merry Xmas and thank you Matcy for the memories.
Yes, it would be strange what kids nowadays would think about our paper bag of goodies. But it was a treat, cause you didn’t get much. Las cruces in Christmas time is beautiful. Albuquerque gal here. Merry Christmas 🎁 🌲
Awesome Marcy, you just keep giving us gifts. Thank you so much. That's the first Christmas lights Decorations I've got to see this year since I'm bedridden. I have to get my husband to make that Delicious Pie for me. I have never had Eggnog anything but everyone seems to like it. Thank you again Marcy.❤😊
@marcyinspired1442 Thank you Marcy. They said I have Degenerate Spine. Multiple breaks and fractures then I fell and fractured my left hip and shoulder. Been in Bed for 2 and a half years. They said I have 5 blockages to my heart. My Doctor told me he would tell me to walk to help the blockages but he said 1 more break could end my life. GOD still has me here for a reason. Merry Christmas and FATHER GOD bless you Marcy and your family in JESUS NAME AMEN AND AMEN 🙏❤️😊
Stocking stuffers for Christmas growing up was whole nuts and a tangerine..And traditionally when my adult Children were growing up also.. Thank you, Marci.. Visted Sante Fe for Christmas one year.... The older homes were absolutely beautifully decorated...Will always remember New Mexico Christmas...God Bless
Those are sweet memories for sure. I was hoping to go to Santa Fe and Taos to share how magical it looks at Christmas, but we just ran out of time. Maybe next year.
YUM! Marcy, thank you for this! It looks and sounds soooo good! I can't wait to try it! Thank you also for all the recipes and tips, but even more for sharing your life journey. It has been wonderful to be a part of it! Merry Christmas and prayers for a blessed New Year for you and yours! ❤🎄🙏
I lived in Columbus, NM, when I was 12 yo and after coming to the USA from Mexico. My brother still lives in Deming. I've driven through N.M. on my way to Arizona to see my family. I feel like I'm watching family.. watching your channel. My husband loves to make pies.., I'm going to ask him to make this one for our Christmas dinner. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year's
I definitely take it as a compliment that you feel like you're watching family. Thank you for the sweet comment. Hope you enjoy the pie & Merry Christmas!
My memory of Xmas mornings was my grandfather taking us to several of his friends home and we would yell out mis Christmas and would get one of those brown paper bags with the same items you mentioned. So I never went trick a treating just mis Christmas 😊
Hello my sweet friend. 👋 Your eggnog pie looks delicious and so simple, too! 🥧 Got to give that a try. 😋 The plaza in Las Cruces looked so pretty and festive...and that huge tree 🎄 was spectacular! Love when cities, towns and communities decorate for the holidays, it just puts you in the holiday spirit! So nice...and yes I can relate to your paper bag of goodies for Christmas! Growing up as a kid, the elementary school would give out paper bags with all you described. Loved the hard candy of ribbon 🍬 and it was given to us kids by Santa Claus, and a poliroid picture was taken with Santa. 📸 They did this for several years and I loved it. Such great memories of our generation we had... that the new generations will never get the privilege of knowing how special those times were! Thanks for the trip down memory lane Marcy...those were good times! Like to wish you and Tony, plus your family a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and continued blessings 🙏 enjoy your time with your family. I shall see you next weekend, don't forget to leave a little something for Rocky for Christmas! 😄👍
I'm so happy you not only enjoyed watching, but that you could relate to that same childhood experience. Those were definitely simpler times. Someone mentioned in the comments that we should get mealworms for Rocky, and I thought it was a great idea...until I realized I'd have to touch them.😬 Any treat is going to have to be leftover chicken and hamburger meat. Merry Christmas!
Marcy I can relate to a paper bag filled with goodies and yes we were so excited Now if I gave one to my grandkids they would be like really Nana lol 😂
How festive and fun your city looks. The pie sounds yummy! Your memory did bring back sweet childhood memories: one was sitting in the backseat of my parent’s car with my little sister, eating piñon nuts as we traveled thru Arizona or New Mexico…oh! they were delicious and creamy. The other was at Christmastime, after church, the ushers would hand out little paper bags of mixed candies and (I think nuts?) to us children. That was thrilling! Thanks for the sweet video. Your home is gorgeous.
Yes.. I remember the small brown paper bags .. A lttle candy cane .. few mix nuts.. and a orange .😊 We also use to wrap up...our Christmas gifts... in Cartoon newspapers .. putting .. Grittier.. writing Merry Christmas on it.. amd putting them under the Christmas tree🎄 it was Fun.. for us kids! Great Memories ! 😁 Thank you Marcy for the wonderful recipe ...and All the Christmas lights 🎄 So pretty! 🤗 "Merry Christmas" Blessings.. to you both and your family! 🥧🎄❤️
Now, there's something I hadn't thought of in a while: wrapping gifts with cartoon newspaper! That was pretty genius back in the day. Thanks for the comment.
Marcy yes I remember those . A school here still did this after the Christmas program. Santa would come in and hand out these treatsand take pictures with children, up until 2020 when it closed
Oh Marcy that pie looks simply delicious & I’m like you I love egg nog & I will be making this easy pie for Christmas. Thank you for the recipe & the tour around Las Cruces @ this beautiful time of year. Merry Christmas to you & your family😊
Santa always left an orange and pecans in the bottom of our stocking. Thank you for showing the town's Christmas lights...Christmas in NM is the ultimate! When we lived in NM we had a Pinyon tree for our Christmas tree one year and it smelled wonderful. The pie looks awesome and is right up my alley. I just hope it makes it to the crust and I don't eat it right out of the bowl. 🤣Hope you have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄💕
I'll be making this pie for New Year's day! Also I made your chicken hatch green chili enchiladas and also the cheese enchiladas with red sauce last night for one of my Christmas parties. My kids requested Mexican food. It was a hit. Thank you for sharing all your recipes!
Yes! I remember the bags! We were so easy to please back then, kids nowadays have crazy expectations! Can’t wait to try your eggnog pie recipe. Your pumpkin flan was a big hit on Thanksgiving😋 Las Cruces plaza looks so nice all decorated for Christmas! Thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas, my parents would get one of my dad's LONG tube socks, fill them with nuts oranges and Christmas candy. And one of those HUGE candy canes. I don't think they even make them anymore. Or at least I haven't seen them in the stores. Have a beautiful, blessed Christmas ⚔️✝️
Thank you for this, I'm going to a christmas dinner on noche buena and didn't know what to bring but this sounds like a good idea. This should still be fine for Christmas Eve if I make it tomorrow right? Happy Holidays....love the luminares :).
We had little stockings stuffed with tangerines, nuts, chocolates and candy canes. Christmas without tangerines just isnt the same. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Hi Marcy…Thank you for this quick recipe. I’m not a fan of Cool Whip…Do you think this would work if I whip up my own whipped cream? Thanks, again…and Merry Christmas (Mario in El Paso) 🎄
OMG, That is a must, gonna make! Now about those shelves in your kitchen, are hung with a French cleet or floating shelf bracket? 🤔 I can make something like that.
I don't know for sure, as they were already in the home when we bought it. Tony is going to build some similar floating shelves in our bedroom, and use a French cleet.
His name is Tony, and thank you so much for thinking of him. I laughed because in one of my other videos, someone just wished me and Rocky the roadrunner a Merry Christmas! lol Anyway, Merry Christmas!

As a kid on Christmas Day, I did receive what was called an “Aguinaldo.” A handmade small basket made from cardboard decorated with crape paper filled with candy and fruit. No Christmas gifts until January 6, the day of Epiphany. Our home had no Christmas tree or Santa Claus, only a nativity. As we grow up, we started the tradition of incorporating a Christmas tree and gifts on Christmas Day.

When there's no money, you tend to be rich in other ways. I can definitely relate to that. Thanks for the sweet comment. Merry Christmas!

My mom did this too and would also add little trinkets she found second hand. I still have some of those trinkets and most of them are considered collectors items now.
It's amazing to find out our family's beloved brown paper bag, filled with fruit, candy, and nuts, was a shared experience! As adults, we honored the tradition, and I added a $2 bill to make it even more meaningful. What a precious heritage!

Us kids randomly would go on stage and sing Christmas songs all night long. After the pageant was over they gave each of us a brown paper sack filled with holiday hard candies, a variety of nuts, an apple and an orange. Such great memories! I’m making this pie for Christmas Eve dinner this year. Thank you for sharing it! Merry Christmas 🎄
Awe. I love that. You sang your little hearts out for that bag of goodies. What a sweet memory.
My husband liked this recipe so I will be trying it for the holidays. He loves eggnog and it does look simple, right up my alley. And yes, we did get the bags of fruit, nuts and candies from church. Such a great memory. My uncle still hands these out at Christmas time. 🎄
I'm glad to know it's still being done today! Merry Christmas!
Bonjour, My wife and I are watching from Trois-Revieres, Quebec, Canada. She followed your exact instructions for your eggnog pie, It came out absolutely wonderful! We will use your recipe to make more for our Christmas family parties!
Beautiful kitchen

So true. I tend to be very nostalgic when I think about those days back when. It's nice that others can relate. Merry Christmas!

I remember fondly those brown paper bags, they had an orange, apple, peanuts, and candies called "colecciones" little round multicolored spiked balls with an anise seed inside. How precious my Christmas memory.
Thanks for sharing that. I was not familiar with "colecciones" but I can totally picture it.
@@marcyinspired1442 actually the candy is "colaciones". My mistake. But I still do remember it. Your eggnog pie recipe is simple to make and yummy.

Love that you can relate. Thanks for the comment.
Oh wonderful memories and yes I remember the hammer, I miss those days any thing would make us happy. Jumping rope, playing tag ,playing in the rain ,playing Jax. How I miss those days 😪
Our church would put a bag with one apple one orange the Christmas candy and nuts each child would get one ,my children that are now grand parents still remember how they looked forward to that paper bag ,great memories .
Have a great Christmas God bless you and your family.
It's amazing how something so simple was a big deal back then. I love it! Merry Christmas and may God bless you, as well.
Marcy ,l remember those treat bags and the candies especially the bow ones.Those were meaningful memories when life was more simple and appreciated. Thank you for reminding me of those of those special moments.How times have changed .Wishing You ,Tony and your family a Blessed Christmas 🎄 🙏
Times really have changed. But glad we still have those memories. Merry Christmas!
Great video! Wishing you both Merry Christmas. 🎄🎅
Good morning, Marcy ☀️☀️ thank you for posting your recipes, I really enjoy them and often reminds me how to enhance and create in my kitchen. Have a beautiful day. Merry Christmas, you & your hubby 😃🛷🦌🎄🌹
What a sweet comment. Thank you so much!
Oh delicious recipe 😋 I have to make this pie. Yes I do remember having a lunch bag with lots of goodies. That was such a great holiday miss the good old days. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes. 😋 😊😊 Have blessed day 🙏
Glad you could relate. Thanks for watching!
Hi Marcy, what a flashback use to get those brown paper bags filled with hard candies and peanuts in the shell, when I was in elementary school lol. Also gonna make the pie, looked yummy. Thx for sharing. Feliz Navidad to you and your family.

That sounds beautiful! I remember posadas when I was little, too. When Christ is at the center of the celebration, it's always much more meaningful.
Yes marcy I remember that I was just talking to my husband about it we didn't have alot of toys but we had alot of love and we appreciate anything we would get ❤️ 😊
I absolutely relate to that. We didn't have a lot of money, but we were rich in so many other ways.
I will definitely try this “no bake eggnog pie”I love eggnog and look forward to every year!
I’m still watching your video posts and even followed you during your move back to New Mexico.
I wanted to comment on the brown paper bag of goodies. Having grown up in northwest part of New Mexico, we received this every year as a kid.
This tradition continues today, in fact my niece is a teacher in a native school and she mentioned that they were filling brown paper bags a couple weeks ago, also my sister and her church members were doing this too. So yes, this tradition continues AND I miss it so much having moved to the west coast too many years ago. Bless you and Tony this holiday season, take care and stay safe, love and prayers!
Hello Marcie, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. I know nothing of the brown paper bag gifts you experienced. But, it did get me thinking of 1 tradition we had at Christmas, my mom's fudge. She is 82 now and is still the only one who can make it the way we all love and remember.
Yum! What a wonderful tradition. Who doesn't love fudge?!
The town looks so lovely at night.
We used to get those bags from church.
My parents would put the same thing in our Christmas stockings. We were never taught of a Santa Claus. We knew our parents did it and were excited every time!!
Those are sweet memories, for sure. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Your shared memory about the paper bag with food was great. What better way to share the joys of the Christmas holiday than with food, the gift of life! We hope to try the Eggnog pie for New Years eve.
I can relate to that. And eggnog pie was our tradition. Thank you Marci for all you're recipes. They are fantastic!
Oh, wow! That's so cool that eggnog pie was a tradition in your family. I only heard of it for the first time a couple of years ago, but I really love it. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I remember the brown bag with goodies 😊!! Happy holidays!!
That's awesome! Glad we share a similar experience. Thanks for watching.
Yummmm Marcy delicious 😋. I remember having a red mesh stocking with apple, orange, banana, walnuts, pecans and Brazil nuts with ribbon candy. We were poor and were very happy to receive that and each of us also had a present under the tree. Marcy those are the most precious moments. I cried when you asked that question. Miss those days. The pie looks delicious and buy the way how's Rocky doing?
Hello Marcy ❤yes I remember those paper sacks. 😊 we loved them ❤️
I remember the bags. We also got a candy cane and sometimes a small toy. I love it. Going to try this recipe. I do one that's baked. This seems easier. Merry Xmas and thank you Matcy for the memories.
Glad you're going to give it a try. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Yes I remember the brown bag with orange, peanuts, hard candy. I would always look forward going to grandma for this treat at Christmas time.
I love how many people share that memory. Thanks for the comment. Merry Christmas!
Yes! We got those bags from our church as we left after the Christmas service. Thank yo for reminding me of that!
Yes, it would be strange what kids nowadays would think about our paper bag of goodies. But it was a treat, cause you didn’t get much. Las cruces in Christmas time is beautiful. Albuquerque gal here. Merry Christmas 🎁 🌲
I doubt it would be received as joyfully today.🤣 Glad we share a similar memory. Merry Christmas!
Awesome Marcy, you just keep giving us gifts. Thank you so much. That's the first Christmas lights Decorations I've got to see this year since I'm bedridden. I have to get my husband to make that Delicious Pie for me. I have never had Eggnog anything but everyone seems to like it. Thank you again Marcy.❤😊
I'm happy I shared those Christmas lights then. May God be with you and bring healing to your body.
@marcyinspired1442 Thank you Marcy. They said I have Degenerate Spine. Multiple breaks and fractures then I fell and fractured my left hip and shoulder. Been in Bed for 2 and a half years. They said I have 5 blockages to my heart. My Doctor told me he would tell me to walk to help the blockages but he said 1 more break could end my life. GOD still has me here for a reason. Merry Christmas and FATHER GOD bless you Marcy and your family in JESUS NAME AMEN AND AMEN 🙏❤️😊
Yes marcie I remember getting my bag at church i really think that was the best of all Merry Christmas.
I'm loving how many people are saying in the comments that they got a similar bag of goodies. My husband had never heard of it.
Stocking stuffers for Christmas growing up was whole nuts and a tangerine..And traditionally when my adult Children were growing up also..
Thank you, Marci..
Visted Sante Fe for Christmas one year.... The older homes were absolutely beautifully decorated...Will always remember New Mexico Christmas...God Bless
Those are sweet memories for sure. I was hoping to go to Santa Fe and Taos to share how magical it looks at Christmas, but we just ran out of time. Maybe next year.
YUM! Marcy, thank you for this! It looks and sounds soooo good! I can't wait to try it!
Thank you also for all the recipes and tips, but even more for sharing your life journey. It has been wonderful to be a part of it!
Merry Christmas and prayers for a blessed New Year for you and yours! ❤🎄🙏
I'm so happy you're following our journey. It's been a lot of fun for us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I’m coming to las cruses from El Paso to watch the chile drop, hoping for green!
My mom would put walnuts and the same candy out every year. I miss that.❤ Merry Christmas, Marcy, and blessings to you and your family.
Awe. Thanks for sharing that. Merry Christmas!

I feel like I'm watching family.. watching your channel. My husband loves to make pies.., I'm going to ask him to make this one for our Christmas dinner. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year's
I definitely take it as a compliment that you feel like you're watching family. Thank you for the sweet comment. Hope you enjoy the pie & Merry Christmas!
My memory of Xmas mornings was my grandfather taking us to several of his friends home and we would yell out mis Christmas and would get one of those brown paper bags with the same items you mentioned. So I never went trick a treating just mis Christmas 😊
Hello my sweet friend. 👋 Your eggnog pie looks delicious and so simple, too! 🥧 Got to give that a try. 😋 The plaza in Las Cruces looked so pretty and festive...and that huge tree 🎄 was spectacular! Love when cities, towns and communities decorate for the holidays, it just puts you in the holiday spirit! So nice...and yes I can relate to your paper bag of goodies for Christmas! Growing up as a kid, the elementary school would give out paper bags with all you described. Loved the hard candy of ribbon 🍬 and it was given to us kids by Santa Claus, and a poliroid picture was taken with Santa. 📸 They did this for several years and I loved it. Such great memories of our generation we had... that the new generations will never get the privilege of knowing how special those times were! Thanks for the trip down memory lane Marcy...those were good times! Like to wish you and Tony, plus your family a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and continued blessings 🙏 enjoy your time with your family. I shall see you next weekend, don't forget to leave a little something for Rocky for Christmas! 😄👍
I'm so happy you not only enjoyed watching, but that you could relate to that same childhood experience. Those were definitely simpler times. Someone mentioned in the comments that we should get mealworms for Rocky, and I thought it was a great idea...until I realized I'd have to touch them.😬 Any treat is going to have to be leftover chicken and hamburger meat. Merry Christmas!
Thank you. Marcy. Looks. Delicious. Yummy!!!!
Thank you for watching!
Marcy I can relate to a paper bag filled with goodies and yes we were so excited Now if I gave one to my grandkids they would be like really Nana lol 😂
I can imagine that. I know the same would happen with the kids in my family today. 🤣
Yes i can relate to paperbag goodie ❤
Thanks Marcy, Merry Christmas 🎄🥳
Merry Christmas!
Good morning looks delicious thank you 😊
Thank you for watching!
Will give this a try today. Merry Christmas Marcy.
Wowsounds ggood
How festive and fun your city looks. The pie sounds yummy! Your memory did bring back sweet childhood memories: one was sitting in the backseat of my parent’s car with my little sister, eating piñon nuts as we traveled thru Arizona or New Mexico…oh! they were delicious and creamy.
The other was at Christmastime, after church, the ushers would hand out little paper bags of mixed candies and (I think nuts?) to us children. That was thrilling!
Thanks for the sweet video. Your home is gorgeous.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back sweet memories.
Yes.. I remember the small brown paper bags ..
A lttle candy cane .. few mix nuts.. and a orange .😊
We also use to wrap up...our Christmas gifts... in Cartoon newspapers ..

Great Memories ! 😁
Thank you Marcy for the wonderful recipe ...and All the Christmas lights 🎄
So pretty! 🤗
"Merry Christmas" Blessings.. to you both and your family! 🥧🎄❤️
Now, there's something I hadn't thought of in a while: wrapping gifts with cartoon newspaper! That was pretty genius back in the day. Thanks for the comment.
Wow! Yes, that bag of treats was the best. Merry Christmas. ELP
Right? I thought so, too. Thanks for watching & Merry Christmas!
Marcy yes I remember those . A school here still did this after the Christmas program. Santa would come in and hand out these treatsand take pictures with children, up until 2020 when it closed
Awe. I'm sorry to hear that school closed. That's a sweet memory.
Oh Marcy that pie looks simply delicious & I’m like you I love egg nog & I will be making this easy pie for Christmas.
Thank you for the recipe & the tour around Las Cruces @ this beautiful time of year. Merry Christmas to you & your family😊
Thank you. I'm so happy you enjoyed it.

Looks delicious 😋
Thank you ❤️
Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🤶
Thank you. And Merry Christmas to you & yours!
Santa always left an orange and pecans in the bottom of our stocking. Thank you for showing the town's Christmas lights...Christmas in NM is the ultimate! When we lived in NM we had a Pinyon tree for our Christmas tree one year and it smelled wonderful. The pie looks awesome and is right up my alley. I just hope it makes it to the crust and I don't eat it right out of the bowl. 🤣Hope you have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄💕
I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe and the town lights. Thanks so much for the sweet comment.
I'll be making this pie for New Year's day! Also I made your chicken hatch green chili enchiladas and also the cheese enchiladas with red sauce last night for one of my Christmas parties. My kids requested Mexican food. It was a hit. Thank you for sharing all your recipes!
Thanks for telling me. I always love hearing when people find success with my recipes.
Hi Marcy my grandma did these for us paper bag with candies peanuts orange may a small toy it was so nice
We got nuts, candy and an orange put into the toe of our Christmas stockings on Christmas morning.
I'm loving how many people share this same childhood experience. Thanks for the comment.
I was trying to think of a good dessert to make for next week, and this is perfect! Thank you Marcy, Merry Christmas 🎄
Oh, good. Glad you got a little inspiration.
That IS easy! I'm doing it!!
Awesome. That's what I love to hear.
Yes! I remember the bags! We were so easy to please back then, kids nowadays have crazy expectations!
Can’t wait to try your eggnog pie recipe. Your pumpkin flan was a big hit on Thanksgiving😋
Las Cruces plaza looks so nice all decorated for Christmas! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed, and that you had success with the pumpkin flan recipe. Merry Christmas!
@ Merry Christmas Marci!
I must try this!
I hope you do. It's super simple and really good.
Pretty
Merry Christmas, my parents would get one of my dad's LONG tube socks, fill them with nuts oranges and Christmas candy. And one of those HUGE candy canes. I don't think they even make them anymore. Or at least I haven't seen them in the stores. Have a beautiful, blessed Christmas ⚔️✝️
Oh yes very much so!! I can relate to that & inside sak it smelled like oranges...
Looks yummy to bad we don’t have smell vision. Thanks Felix Ano Nuevo from Fresno California🎉🎉
Yes ma'am. We had those bags
Love hearing that! Thanks for the comment.
happy holidays
Thank you. Same to you!
Thank you for this, I'm going to a christmas dinner on noche buena and didn't know what to bring but this sounds like a good idea. This should still be fine for Christmas Eve if I make it tomorrow right? Happy Holidays....love the luminares :).
I can relate
Glad to hear it. Thanks for the comment.
Love you're video's and recipes Marcy! And you're such a beautiful lady too!❤
We had little stockings stuffed with tangerines, nuts, chocolates and candy canes. Christmas without tangerines just isnt the same. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I love it! Thanks for the comment.
I'd make a couples subs but this looks terrific! Looks like variations would be a snap.
Looks delicious. Wondering if you could use eggnog with alcohol in this recipe?
Hi Marcy…Thank you for this quick recipe. I’m not a fan of Cool Whip…Do you think this would work if I whip up my own whipped cream? Thanks, again…and Merry Christmas (Mario in El Paso) 🎄
OMG, That is a must, gonna make!
Now about those shelves in your kitchen, are hung with a French cleet or floating shelf bracket? 🤔 I can make something like that.
I don't know for sure, as they were already in the home when we bought it. Tony is going to build some similar floating shelves in our bedroom, and use a French cleet.
@@marcyinspired1442
Thank you!
Wish can see it
How much whipped cream you l would I whip to add to the pie? I'm allergic to Cool Whip
Typically, you would need to whip 1 cup of whipping cream to equal an 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip.
@marcyinspired1442 thanks!
On low what speed
Merry Christmas, Marcy and husband. (Forgot your name. Sorry !) 🕊👼🎄❄🥂
His name is Tony, and thank you so much for thinking of him. I laughed because in one of my other videos, someone just wished me and Rocky the roadrunner a Merry Christmas! lol Anyway, Merry Christmas!
@@marcyinspired1442 That's funny. I couldn't recall Rocky's name either, Marcy. I was just drawing a blank. I'll try to remember for next time. 😉
