For the holiday season - - - a little "The Twelve Questions of Christmas" meme. Feel free to play along & comment on this post letting me know you are!
- Christmas is _____________. [fill in the blank with ONE WORD] Christmas is JOY!!
- In memories, what was the best part of your Christmases past? Every good memory I have of Christmases past has been spent with family & friends.
- Was Santa ever good to you? [describe how and what] Santa is always good to me, but God is good every day!
- Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or both? Christmas Day!
- Is there something you make each and every year? [craft or recipe] Handmade Christmas ornaments - ALWAYS!! Some goodies are almost always made - peanut butter balls, haystacks, fudge, etc.
- What are your favorite five [5] Christmas songs/hymns? What Child is This, O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know, Silent Night, and Christmas Shoes.
- Is there a new tradition for Christmas since your childhood days? Since I've been grown, mom & I always shop on Thanksgiving evening at some of the local stores that are open. The latest tradition is going to the midnight shopping event at the outlets in a neighboring city. I never thought I would be part of the Black Friday madness, but it's actually a lot of fun!
- Describe one of your Christmas trips. [whether it's across town or across country] This is sad, but I don't have anything exciting for this question. The farthest I've ever gone is about 10 miles up the road.
- Do you have a special Christmas outfit to wear for the day? No!
- Have YOU or any of your family members sat on Santa's lap? Well, of course, but it's been a while!! Still needing to take my nephew to visit Santa!
- What is/or will be on your Christmas tree this year? This year - NOTHING! I'm not decorating this year. If I were, it would be a hodge podge of ornaments from my childhood to the present. I try to add 2-3 new ornaments every year, in addition to the one my mom gives me to add to the collection she started for me when I was born. Each ornament represents a specific event in my life. I call it the memory tree, because there's not one ornament that doesn't have some sentimental value & bring back a special memory for me.
- Do you/or have you decorated your yard for Christmas? No.
