12 Random Things About Me and Christmas

I have been tagged by Stacey so here goes:

1) I figured out the truth about Santa when I was 7 years old. I am glad that my kids are holding on to the magic longer.

2) I loved my grandmother's toothpick Christmas tree - it was painted with that snow spray and it had tiny ornaments on it. She had it for as long as I can remember.

3) I loved the plastic, light-up Rudolph that always went on the mantle. I wonder if I can have that?

4) Some of my favorite Christmas gifts - table and chair set, doll with bottle that worked (Elizabeth was her name), Baby-that-a-way, sewing machine, Barbie perfume maker (they all smelled the same), pogo stick, and a purple bicycle.

5) We leave Santa Dr. Pepper, not milk. For some reason, I just feel that he prefers Dr. Pepper :)

6) Mark has been promising for 3 years to put a hook up for Nate's stocking - still not done!!! Come on, honey!

7) I can't stand eggnog - whoever thought of that "beverage" has a sick and twisted mind

8) The animated Grinch is probably my favorite Christmas movie but I also love "A Christmas Story"

9) I love shopping for my boys and seeing their expressions when they open the presents. I spend too much on them every year. I can't wait to see their expressions this year!

10) We never have Christmas at home (with the exception of 1 year). I wish the boys would have memories of Christmas at home, but they do have memories of fun with cousins. I did not have any cousins so we never went to visit them. Most of my Christmas memories are at home - but we sometimes went to Fort Worth to my grandparents.

11) Those commercials where the girl gets the mean pony while her friends got cool phones totally cracks me up. My sister got a horse one Christmas. She really wanted one, but I don't think she liked it as much as she thought she would.

12) I am a really boring Christmas person, but I do love Christmas!

Okay, I tag Tammie, Tami, Laurie, and Charis

You could never be boring! That is not a word I would think of for life at your house.

Just thought I'd go on record letting you know you may have competition for that silly plastic Rudolph. He was always my absolute favorite Cmas decoration...I liked the Santa and Mrs. that sat by the fireplace, too, but Rudolph was the best!! We need to remember to get him out for Cmas next year! : )
