ReplyDeleteFavorite memory: waking parents up at 4:30am. They took the time restriction off as they had determined since we were teenagers we'd sleep in. Wrong!
ReplyDeleteOh goody. I love Kate Spain!
ReplyDeleteI loved some of our traditions growing up. We would have dinner on Christmas Eve, then open gifts from family members. Each person would set out their gifts in a chosen "spot" and that way Santa would know which pile was each child's and leave our gifts there (kind of like the Danish tradition of leaving out a shoe for Gather Christmas---since my mother's ancestors were Danish). Then we would watch A Christmas Carol as a family before going to bed. Loved it!

What I enjoy the most, is being with my family as we share the traditional Tahitian food (Ma a Tahiti: Meat and vegetables prepared and cooked at the same time) All the food is placed in a big hole, made in the ground and covered after with banana leaves. THe whole thing is covered with charcoal then. It is started early in the morning and its eaten at noon. The sweet dishes are completed with coconut milk, the raw fish is the last dish we make as it has to be fresh! All this to the sound of the ukulele and drums (to ere)! Have a nice holidy season!
ReplyDeleteI will make it short. Baking Christmas cookies, candy, going door to door singing carols and midnight Christmas service. Loved all of these.
ReplyDeleteMy memories include having the grandkids decorating cookies. One year, everyone from their grandfather's family joined us. It was a spectacular moment. Now I make holiday quilts for them all. Still have to live long enough to ensure everyone gets one.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory is of my Mom who was so fussy about hanging the tinsel on the tree "just right". No tangled messes for her! She also loved the cards we would receive and would sew them together and hang them on the walls just below the ceiling. I miss those days and I miss Mom.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memories involve my Mom also. We loved "doing" Christmas together. The tree went up without fail on Friday after Thanksgiving, and before the weekend was over, most the pictures and knickknack were replaced with Christmas themed decorations.
ReplyDeleteThere is no greater joy than giving your time and gifts to family and friends and the less fortunate .My greatest memories are serving others on The Holiday at the rescue mission.Any opportunity you have to give you will receive joy.Love of family and friends and giving.Thanks for sharing your give away
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memories were my family all gathered around the Christmas tree decorating , listening to holiday music and having popcorn.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child it was all about the presents, as an adult, it's all about the time. We love to just spend the time with our family!
ReplyDeletetring to go to sleep early on Christmas eve so Santa could come
ReplyDeleteEveryone being able to open one present after Midnight Mass ... one year we got my Dad some stereo equipment and had him come into the LR after some friends snuck it in, while he was making breakfast for everyone. He was the big kid that year, he sat on the floor and put it all together & played Christmas music. The following years in base apartments in Germany he would get the loudspeakers from the FB stadium, put them on the roof and played Christmas music every evening in Dec. It became a Quad tradition.
ReplyDeleteAll the boys being home. It's an instant time warp back as we laugh, joke and tease. We don't skip a beat, even if it has been a few years since we were all home together.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS MJ! You are the WINNER of the Kate Spain charm pack. Please message me with your mailing address and we will get it out to you right away!
DeleteI love seeing all of our family. This Christmas will be extra special as it is the first for my twin babies.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid & we lived stateside (I'm an Army brat), we would spend Christmas at my grandmother's farm in western Maryland. So along with Santa & presents, we got to feed the chickens, gather eggs & sneak corn to the cows. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove Christmas with my family - - my mom is Czech so we put Czech sparklers on our Christmas tree every Christmas Eve :) and surprise balls I always make for Christmas Eve- love them!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory is at our church Christmas program, all of us children received a huge brown paper bag of candy and fruit. The chocolate stars were always so fragrant, oranges perfectly orange and apples crisp. It also contained roasted salted peanuts in the shell. I savored all mine for a week at least.
ReplyDeleteI was 8 years old and I got a kitchen set. I am now 50 I love to cook and quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteEvery year my mom dressed up like a Santa Claus and did something different like show up at a party like that, visit some patients in the hospital, etc. but one year she did it to fly from D.C. To Atlanta and on to Shreveport, LA to surprise her mom and two sisters. She made me dress like her elf with green tights, an Oxford button down white shirt and a Peter Pan hat I'd gotten from Disneyland one year. I was a very tall, embarrassed 12-yr-old elf! Too much to tell what happened at the airport in Atlanta and on the plane to LA, but God blessed a sweet family with a cute 5-yr-old that day whose new step-dad asked "Santa" to tell the girl that it would be nice If she would cAll him Dad for his Christmas present because she'd do anything for "Santa" and later we did hear her call him Dad on the airplane. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo nice that your doing this on both sites. My favorite memories are of the kids being little and having such big eyes at the holidays. The lights and sparkles were Inchanting to them. All oohs and aahs. Fun times now watching grand kids go through this inicent time in their lives.
ReplyDeleteMy best memories are of being up the beach fishing. the looks on the kids faces when they caught fish. thanks for a chance to receive this lovely fabrics.
ReplyDeleteWhen my oldest daughter (now 24) was 3 years old, she asked for 3 things from Santa. She got all 3 and it only cost $25. She was thrilled. Oh for the times when our wishes were simple. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteMy best Christmas memory was two Christmases ago when we moved back to the USA suddenly/unexpectedly with nothing, and little money. Christmas just materialized for us that year; the tree, lights, nativity, cookies, even presents for the kids from strangers. What a beautiful and blessed Christmas. sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of the Christmas Holiday is when all the family can be together.
ReplyDeleteHoliday memories for me always center around decorating the Christmas tree, Christmas church services, fabulous music, and beautifully ringing bells.
ReplyDeleteThe best Holiday memories are the ones with our children when they were small and with the tree, cookies, and being together
ReplyDeleteA favourite memory is baking cookies with my daughter to leave for Santa with a thank you note.
ReplyDeletemy favorite memory are ones with my children when they were little and just being together.

As kids, Mom would take us to our great uncles farm to cut our Christmas tree, which was always a cedar. Our daddy waking us up at 4:00 Christmas morning too se what Santa had left. And yummy homemade biscuits, gravy and fried ham for breakfast was right up there with the presents!
