I need to write a post today, I truly want to write a post today... but unfortunately there is not one in me. I will therefore resort to a blogger trick, and post a questionnaire on Christmas Traditions.
1.Fresh Tree/Fake Tree? I always had a fake tree growing up, then as a young married couple we started buying a real one every year -- oh the joy, the smell, the NEEDLES!! When we built our house nine years ago, we decided to forgo the fresh and just buy a nice fake one... I love my fake tree, it is big and beautiful and looks great, year after year.
2. Favorite Ornament- I have many-- I started a snowman ornament collection many years ago and I absolutely adore all of them, but my favorite it one that I got the first Christmas after Hannah was born. It is a Mommy Snowman(woman) holding a baby... it means the world to me, so long I waited to be a mommy and that ornament is a fulfillment of a wish made long ago.
3. Favorite Christmas Song- I like The Christmas Song, no matter who sings it, but the song that will reduce me to a blubbering idiot, EVERY TIME I hear it, Strange Way To Save The World, by 4Him. ( That is the song you are hearing right now, if you have your speaker turned up!!)
4. Favorite Tradition-I love riding around with my parents looking at Christmas lights in all the neighborhoods. We have done it all my life, and as of last year, we still do it every year even though I am grown, married and have a child of my own. I also look forward to making a gingerbread house with my mom every year. We began this tradition so many years ago, I can't even remember, and now we do it with my daughter. It is always fun or funny -- depending on how the icing reacts to the weather -- it is a challenge every year!!
5. Favorite Gift Ever Received- Well, I wrote earlier about my cow stool from my husband, but one of my favorite gifts has been this here laptop, that I got last year from my parents. It has become my constant companion, I do love it so.
6. Favorite Christmas Meal- I love the traditional Christmas, and this year I would really like it because we didn't really get a Thanksgiving meal...but I also like to do something fun like spaghetti too.
7. Favorite Christmas Cookie - Sugar cookies with white frosting and sprinkles!!
8. Favorite Place to be - at my home, with all my family.
9. Favorite Memory- There are just too many to mention, but seeing my daughter's face the first year she really "got it" as she walked into the living room on Christmas morning was pretty great.
10. Favorite Christmas Movie - Hands down, The Christmas Story. I can watch it over and over and as luck would have it, it plays twenty four hours on Christmas Eve and Day, so my craving is completely satisfied every year.
There you have it -- a sad excuse for a post, but a post nonetheless. Would love to hear your answers as well, comment or link back to your URL.
Living Happily In The Moment!
