It's Almost Christmas!

It's almost Christmas Time!  I get so excited this time of year. I think this year a little bit more, because I finally have my other half to spend my Christmas with. He's been gone for a month now, coming home tomorrow - just in time for Christmas. And we are definitely going to have the best Christmas ever because we have each other.  And Jesus of course, because He is the reason for the season!
now, some Christmas questions!
1. What was your favorite gift given to you as a child?

I remember one christmas I got the Kelly Car. oh boy, i loved that thing. played with it all day long. It had a little wagon on the back too, so that Kelly's friends could ride along. Best. Toy. Ever.

2. Christmas is almost here, what is that one Christmas song you could listen to on repeat? Celine Dion. She's always been there at christmas time, and will definitely continue to be :)

3. What are a few of the items on your Christmas list this year?
 -stuff for my new house!
-the couple willow tree. i love willow trees... i want to collect them.
-an apron for when i start to cook all by myself!

4. Do you and your family have any special holiday traditions? Explain. Oh yes. Every Christmas Eve, we go to the church for the kids program, which is always amazing. I've been in the program many many years, and now I finally get to sit back and relax and watch. It's always amazing seeing how many people come out to the program, and everyone is always so happy to be there.  After the program my family goes back to my parents house and has a chocolate fondue! delicious. We all open stockings and drink wine, play lots of silly games and laugh our heads off, and we stay up way too late. This is definitely my favorite part of Christmas.

last year, just before stocking opening. Dad and his girls :)

a whole pile of christmas socks! so fun.
5. Which do you prefer: wrapping paper or gift bags? Why? Wrapping paper!! its so much more fun to wrap, and to open. It's all around better. 
I hope you all have an amazing Christmas and have as much fun as I will!
