i was tagged for this christmas meme today by maybelline and it couldn't have come at a better time. i need something to get my mind off of my little finners.

“When people say ‘Christmas’ you immediately think…” being cozy and warm at home with loved ones, a roaring fire in the background, a big christmas tree all lit and decorated filling the room with the glorious scent of pine, delicious smells coming from the kitchen, drinking warm spiced cider, christmas carols playing on the radio, a nip in the air, misteltoe haning in the doorway...

“Favorite Christmas memory…” having friends and family over for dinner and sneaking away from the table to check out my gifts under the tree. i was sure one of the boxes contained a much desired cabbage patch doll so i kept peeling back the corner of the package until i knew what it was. i thought i was so clever, but i'm pretty sure everyone was on to what i was doing.

“Favorite Christmas song/carol…” walking in a winter wonderland

“Favorite Christmas character…” st. nicholas i always liked that he came to see the children at the start of december to leave them fruits and chocolate if they had been good and coal if they had been bad.

"Favorite Christmas movie..." it's a wonderful life, a christmas story and christmas vacation

“Favorite Christmas ornament/object…” we have an ornament from each place we have lived while we have been together ~ san luis obispo, sacramento and san francisco.

“Plans for this Christmas…” just staying mellow at home. christmas eve is always just hubby and me. we'll hang out, have dinner, open presents then go to midnight mass. christmas day we'll go to his parent's house for brunch and more presents.

“Is Christmas your favorite holiday?” hmm...while i do like it a lot, i also really like the 4th of july, too.

i'm going to tag sally, maggie and terry because i think they would play along. :)
