Christmas blogging fun #2
What The Holidays Mean to You
For you, the holidays are about emotional connections and bonds. You are happiest being around those you love.
You celebrate the holidays in a minimalist style. You are likely to only give one great present and decorate your house with a few special items.
During the holidays, you feel magical. You love all of the decorations and how happy people are. You like to sit back and take it all in.
You think the holidays should be nostalgic and sweet. The holidays bring out your inner child.
Your best holiday memories are of childhood foods and traditions. You secretly still wish you believed in Santa Claus.

Then a Little People Nativity set that we put up under the Christmas tree.. Though we put it up today and Mary is missing.. So now we have to go on a hunt though all 4 of the kids toy boxes to see if we can find Mary.
8. Hardest person to buy for? Don't really have a hard person to buy for.

I also love our candle light service at church and the church Christmas party.. and getting together with all our family and watching the kids open gifts.
And the last little bit of fun for today..
You Are a Tree
You love every part of the holidays, down to the candy canes and stockings. And you're goofy enough to put a Christmas tree ornament on your tree!

Do I ever agree with you on being annoyed with people saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas!!!! Both Hubby and I grit our teeth on that one. I always look at the person and say Merry Christmas and usually they smile and agree. I think they have been coached in retail to say Happy Holidays so they don't 'offend' someone but good grief it IS the Christmas season. Thank you for letting me vent! lol!!
Have been getting caught up on your last few posts as I have gotten behind with everyones blogs. I'm so glad you found most of your Christmas lights! I had to buy all new ones this year and they are expensive all at once so I am going to be VERY careful taking them down instead of just yanking them down like I did last year......
You have a busy Christmas Eve and Day but isn't it fun seeing everyone and enjoying it together. I love it when my whole family is together it sounds like a henhouse with all the cackling!
Your BIL sure took great pictures of your kids! I like the one of Princess in front of the window especially. I have put a new camera on my Christmas list so I hope if I get it I can learn how to use it! ha! I'm more of a point and shoot photograper and hope for the best.
I liked your Christmas meme, always fun to learn what other people do on Christmas. BTW the music is nice to listen to while I type!
Take care of yourself, I hope you are over the side effects of the medication soon!!!!!!!
What nice Christmas traditions. I took the quiz and I too am a tree. I am loving everything about it this year. Right now it is snowing outside and the kids were so excited I almost couldn't get them to sleep.
I love this meme, I also did it!
Great blog, I wanted to let you know about a great(and FREE) website that helps you get organized for your family gift exchange on Christmas morning. It is called www.family-christmas.com. This is a cool website that helps organize your holiday gift exchange. You can view your friend's and family's wish lists online. Here is how it works; you register by creating a group and your account at www.family-christmas.com. Next you send out invitations to family and friends and start adding gifts to your own wish lists. Other group members accept the invitations and start adding their own wish list. Then you browse the wish lists of other group members and add gifts to a personal private list called your buy list. The website keeps track of gift availability, so nobody gives the same gifts. When you go shopping, you simply print your buy list. There is no more guessing at what people want for the holidays, it eliminates duplicate gifts and organizes your holiday shopping! Cool!
I love this, I also did it!
