Well, now that Thanksgiving is over, we are ready to celebrate the Christmas season. I am one of those people who don't like to "think Cmas" till after Turkey day.
I am so excited for this year's season since the kids are older and Faith is able to understand a lot of it. We've had a lot of fun conversations about Christmas and all that makes it so special.
I don't think she'll get near Santa again this year since she saw him from afar at the Peabody hotel in Memphis and kept asking and asking where he went (she does that when she is really afraid of something). I asked if she wanted to go say hi thinking that maybe since we explained to her how he gives kids really special presents, maybe she'd change her mind.....she VERY QUICKLY said, NO!!!!

This is Faith in Cmas 2006 she was just 12 mos. old. We had to skip Santa pics last year. She wouldn't even get near him. I think she looks ALOT like Eli in this picture!I wish I knew how to change the background of this blog to make it look like a cute scrapbooking page...so if you want to give me a little Christmas cheer (and it's super easy to explain, please tell me how to do this in the comments!! Is there anyway to do that without paying money?)
Well here's a few Christmas questions to answer (I love knowing new things about my friends...especially their faves) so indulge me, please :)

C'mas gift you've given someone:
Making a quilt for my Grandma using handmade blocks decorated by each of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
My favorite thing about C'mas is watching everyone open their gifts, watching heart warming stories of helping others in need and receiving Christmas cards from friends, especially the ones with pictures.
What's your favorite Christmas....
C'mas Movie of all time: It's A Wonderful Life
C'mas comedy movie: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Newer C'mas movie: The Polar Express
C'mas Song: O Holy Night (Christian); White Christmas (Traditional)
C'mas CD: Trans Siberian Orchestra (on which neither of my favorite songs is recorded)
C'mas gift you've ever received (childhood and/0r recent): This one's tough because there was never really one big gift. I always got lots of little things.
C'mas gift you've given someone: This one's hard, too because this is my favorite part of Christmas...giving gifts.
My favorite thing about C'mas is that everyone actually seems happier. If you forget all the crazy traffic and lines and commercial aspects of it, then you get right down to the joy of the holiday. People smile more and say hi to perfect strangers. So, I guess the atmosphere.
Christmas Movie: It's a Wonderful Life
Funny Movie: Christmas Story
Newer Movie: Elf
Song: O Holy Night
CD: Michael W Smith (Let it Rain)
Gift I've ever received: Christmas gift: Don replaced my Buffet clarinet I sold so that he could audition up here...with a new one a few years ago.
of All gifts: Don had a diamond put back into my old engagement ring, had my rings repaired and fused together....It's the only ring for me ever!
My favorite gift I ever gave someone: My Buffet clarinet that I sold so Don could audition for the AF.
My favorite thing about Christmas:
Driving around looking at lights with our family on Christmas Eve, singing Christmas songs, and then stopping at 7 Eleven for a Slurpee...and then going home to our own humble little light display...and lighting candles all over our house.
The picture with Faith and Santa is so funny...and another funny thing is I had Conner's picture taken with that same Santa last Christmas. Cameron thought he was a scarey looking Santa. I thought he was very patient....I didn't know until I handed Conner over that he has wet through his diaper, so I thought the look on Santa's face was "Ugh!" I'm going to try to post it here, but if I can't, I'll try to post a link. Merry Christmas!
