So as many of you have noticed I fell off of the Christmas countdown wagon yet again! I have been having some personal medical issues but am hoping that I will be posting again, daily. Thank you all for making sure that you have stuck in there and kept on watching to see what is new in the world of Christmas. This Friday is the official start of the Christmas season and of course the biggest shopping day of the year. Black Friday ads are already online and the secrets are already out! So for today, a post of fun…A few questions to answer for you. I guess you will get my answers as well… Please play along.
- What is your favorite Christmas Song?
- What is your favorite Christmas Movie?
- What is your families most precious Christmas tradition?
- When do you put your Christmas tree up?
- How early is too early to turn on your Christmas lights?
- What was the best present you ever received under the Christmas tree?
OK so here are my answers:
- My favorite Christmas song is the “Christmas Shoes” by NEWSONG. I cry each and every time I hear it. It makes me remember how blessed we are this and every Christmas to have each other. I also love the classics with Bing Crosby and the gang! “Santa Baby” still makes me feel cute and in a fun mood.
- My favorite Christmas movie is a tough one. I am not sure that I can pick just one. I love “It’s a Wonderful Life” because it again shows that all we need is one another. I also love the original “Miracle on 34th Street”. This is the movie that I must see Thanksgiving night. It is a child who has no faith who sees that things are not always what they seem to be. “Love Actually” is a movie that I usually watch this time of year as well. I love British film and this movie met all of my expectations. As far as some funny Christmas comedy, “Scrogged” takes the cake. It is a non traditional story with a whole lot of laughs. So as I said earlier… how can I pick just one.
- I think that my most precious Christmas tradition is Elmer the Elf. He has blessed the children in our family for almost a century. Elmer works for Santa Clause himself. He watched the children in the family and reports back to Santa daily. If you are good he leaves a few small trinkets through out the Christmas season.
- We usually wait with our tree until a few weeks before Christmas. We always get a real tree and if we put it up any sooner it would die before the new year. My mother-in-law has an all white and silver tree. It looks so beautiful but I cannot copy… so I have my miss match tree and it looks beautiful!
- I stand strong in the belief that the day after Thanksgiving is the EARLIEST you should turn on your Christmas lights. Now I know here on the east coast the weather has been warm so I can understand if you have put them up so that you do not have to do it in the freezing cold weather. On the other hand… this in no way means that you should be lighting those lights before we celebrate Thanksgiving.
- I would have to say that the best present under my tree was a shadow box that my husband made for me. All of our children were in there and the things we like to do together. It is a special thing that will live with me forever.
So there you have it. I have shared… now it is your turn…
