Christmas Trivia ‘09
1. Best childhood gift from Santa: The one I remember most is a little desk that had a chalkboard top that lifted up to store chalk and magnet letters. I remember there being a Kermit the Frog stuffed animal sitting in the seat. I loved that!
2. Best childhood memories: Going to both of my Grandparents’ houses. We always managed to go to both. One on Christmas eve and the other on Christmas day. I remember spending time with all my cousins, aunts and uncles. There was always TOO MUCH food and so much laughter.
3. Favortie Christmas cookies: I’m not sure it is technically a Christmas cookie but that is when I tend to think about making them. My favorite is a spicy molasses cookie.
4. Icky Christmas memory: I’m not sure I have one. Maybe I’ve blocked any of that out. Probably the first Christmas after my parents were divorced.
5. It’s not Christmas without: Christmas movies, hot chocolate, family and fun.
6. Our Church Service: Christmas Eve service early enough that we can come home and do our traditional activities. We always have one gift to open on Christmas Eve and that is new jammiew for the girls and a movie. We then all snuggle up and watch the movie before the kids head to bed.
7. Christmas Pet Peeve: Shopping this time of year. I know most everyone says that but I truly despise it. I hate how mean people get over an inanimate object. Soooo not what Christmas is about.
8. Favorite Christmas CD: Currently it is Harry for the Holidays by Harry Connick, Jr
9. Real or Fake: I know I’m going to be stoned but I seriously don’t like having a real tree. They’re terribly messy and, quite honestly, I can’t stand the smell. We have a very nice fake tree and I’ll happily use it year after year.
10. I spend Christmas Eve : I sort of answered this earlier. Mainly we just plan to stay home (besides the church service) and enjoy family. We travel a lot at Thanksgiving so that we can spend time together at Christmas rather than running from here to there and not enjoying any of it because we’re exhausted.
