One of my favorite memories from Christmas is when my sister and I stayed up all night long so we could tell when our parents went to put out the presents. By the time we could open them, we were ready to sleep!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas memory is from when my sisters and I left hay and carrots out for the reindeer because we thought they needed food more than Santa :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite holiday memory..spending them with grandparents who are no longer with us.

Hmmm...when I was really young my family used to go out into the woods to pick our own Christmas tree to chop down. There would be lots of snow and it would be freezing cold, but we'd keep going until we found a good one. Then there was always hot chocolate and donuts awaiting us afterwards! Good times :)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful memories! We've got mentions of family, food for Santa's reindeer (hey, I did that too!), Christmas tree outings...so much holiday magic. Keep them coming guys... ^_^
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite memories is taking my son to our town's santa house. It is a whole house that is dedicated to santa, and only open a couple of weeks. They even have reindeer for the kids to see.

One December I lost my wedding ring. Yes, I know. I was pregnant and it didn't fit my ring finger so I was wearing it on another finger but it didn't exactly fit and I lost in somewhere in the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteWell my husband got me a replacement for Christmas and my daughter also got me one at their Santa's workshop at school. Goldplated with 5 "diamonds". She was 7 years old. It was the best present I ever got.
After the holidays all the moms who volunteered at the workshop told me how she told them about me losing my ring and they had to help her find a "wedding ring" for her mom. They all cried afterward!
You know, I've never read any of the Dewey books and I've always been really curious. May just have to enter this one! Thanks so much for the contest!
ReplyDeleteI love our Christmas tradition of everyone getting together and remembering what the holidays are all about.
ReplyDeleteEvery year my husband and I take my grandmother to see a christmas themed play or something like The Nutcracker. We make a special dinner beforehand and then we get all dressed up for our big, night out. It's such a big deal for her and we enjoy it as well!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that one of my favourite holiday memories was Christmas 2004. My daughter was 4 years old, at that time. She had been so excited that she couldn't sleep. Once she was finally asleep (or at least I thought she was!), "Santa" went and put her presents under the tree. A couple of minutes after I finished, I was in bed, and my daughter came running into my room wanting to know if I had heard Santa, because he was just there. She said she was trying to sleep but couldn't, and Santa must have thought she was sleeping, cuz he was there. She heard him! She even heard the bells (yeah, I tripped over the cat's toy ball, with a bell in it.)!! So, she just pretended she was sleeping so that he would give her presents! But now she wants to see him, so of course we have to go check. I opened up the front door, and we stood on the porch, and an airplane flew by. Of course, because of the flashing red light, my daughter assumed it was Rudolph! She was so happy. She had heard Santa, and watched him fly back to the North Pole!! The smile on her face was priceless.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memories always involve Christmas. I ove Christmas! The lights, decorations, and everyone just seems to be a lot better mood at Christmastime! I love putting up our tree and hanging up our stockings! One of my recent favorite memories/traditions is taking my kids to see "christmas lights". They love it and to be quite honest, so do my husband and I!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering up this giveaway!:)
During the holidays we have a special wonderful dinner for the entire family. This is a happy time for all and the best memories are always the warmest. Pearl
ReplyDeleteEating the christmas dinner. I love that part the best. The food is amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy first Christmas with my husband's family. Our family doesn't celebrate anything, so it was a surprise to be surrounded by so much food and family.
