25 Days of Christmas - Question 5

Oddly nothing comes to mind! I have so many Christmas memories, none of them really stand out to be a favorite. I remember my dad taking us to see lights...I remember the Christmas my sister and I got close to the same things as my friend across the street (Skates, and an orang scooter)...I remember every year I used to get an art set. A big pad of paper, and a set of crayons/markers/paints...I remember when I got a ghetto Ice cream maker..

I guess every Christmas is special to me. I mean.... How can it not be?

25 Days of Christmas List - Question 4

We have some traditions here in our little house..

We ALWAYS try to take trips to have Christmas fun... I enjoy it most. Joe goes because I make him.

There's putting up the tree.. I miss having a pretty pine smelling tree, but our vintage tree is pretty cool if I may say so.

I make time EVERY year to bake my Christmas sour cream cookies. I try to make them, and settle down with some old school christmas shows while I decorate. :) Fun times.

Mainly our tradition is visiting Joe's family on Christmas Eve. We have some drinks, have some snacks, and mingle. Then its back home to go to sleep, and wait for santa...

Well, of course the puppies do too..

After presents we have breakfast with family, and spend the rest of the day relaxing. :)

25 days of Christmas List - Question 3

Hot Cocoa all the way!!! I just tried apple cider for the first time, AND I do like it. But there is something about snuggling up with some hot cocoa and marshmallows on a chilly night to watch Holiday shows. I don't know why. It's just the way it is.

25 days of Christmas List - Question 2

I love, love LOVE this movie.

Growing up with a mother who LOVES christmas (maybe more than me) I was "forced" to watch all kinds of old movies at christmas. Even though I still love the other movies, and I could possible name EVERY Jules Bass movie in existnance, White Christmas STILL takes the award for my favorite Christmas movie, and probably favorite movie of all.

I mean.. Look at this. How can you compete. pretty ladies, awesome clothes, music, dancing, singing...

If you havent seen this movie. you should very much so watch it.

25 Days of Christmas List - Question 1

All I want for Christmas is you , by Vince Vance & the Valiants. I don't know WHY I love this song. I just do. I have never heard it sung by any one else. and that is a lot to say for a Christmas song.

I also like the Song 'Where are you Christmas' from the Grinch. I like it more when the little girl sings it. Not as much when Faith Hill sings it. It makes me think of how much fun Christmas used to be growing up, and how just because you grow up, you have to stop believing in the fun and the magic of it. Poop to that. I still get excited when I see santa at the mall.. I guess I'm just a big kid.

Wish list of fun...

I'm not keeping up well with the 30 days of lists.. But it's fun to stop by for a good post ideas. One of the recent ones was a wish list, and as I sat for a few minutes thinking of my wishes....I realized It actually was hard to think of something.

Fast foward several minutes, and I decided to make a fun list instead... Check it out.

getting to know me...via lists

I recently bought this book...

I figured, I could fill out a page every once in a while, and share it with everyone. I think it would be fun.

The firt page was a fun memory for me. Listing all of the pets you had and the name.

I came from a family who loved animals. My dad had a Racoon, his sister had a skunk. They also had a hawk.. Which I think is pretty bad ass... My mom had a groundhog growing up, and my grandmom helped nurse back to life several dozens of birds,chipmunks, and squirrels alike.

I was lucky enough to have those genes. And for your viewing pleasue. My pets, listed below.
