25 Days of Christmas

Day 11: How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?

I love doing it classic. No colored lights, no mismatched ornaments, and only two colored theme. But I know next year this will change as my daughter gets older she will like all the "fun" colors and ornaments. And thats ok, as long as I have her to help decorate it! =)

25 Days of Christmas Day 10

Day 10: When do you open your presents? Why?

Usually when spending the holiday with my in-laws we open out gifts on Christmas Eve. This year however we will be celebrating Christmas and opening out presents on Christmas morning. We are starting out own traditions this year but opening presents early will not be in them.... I think.

Day 8: What's the most important thing about the holidays for you?

Mine by far is family! Growing up we never had traditions or were really even a family orientated type of family. Until I got with my husband I never felt like I had a real family. But now we have traditions, game nights, just being together I love it!

Day 9: Do you remember your favorite holiday gift?

My favorite holiday gift as a child was this amazing bike that had a radio attached to it, talk about old school, but it was cool then LOL. Also I remember getting my first CD player, I freaked out!! It was the best! As an adult my most favorite holiday gift so far has been my Dooney & Bourke purse. But this year I know I am getting a new Coach Poppy purse, but I haven't seen it yet so Ill let you know if its changed. =)

Day 7: Which do you prefer giving or receiving?

Let's be honest everyone loves getting gifts. But I do love giving gifts also, I get so excited just buying them because I know how much they will love them! And I am soo excited this year, because I did so great for my husband he is going to be shocked! And of course my daughter this is the first year that she will be able to really understand what's going on. We have been teaching her all about Santa and how naughty girls dont get presents. We plan on baking cookies and leaving them out for Santa and everything. So Im excited for her to see what happens when your a good girl!

25 Days of Christmas: Day 5 & 6

Day 5: Plans for Christmas?

Nothing like we do normally =( We are just going to have Christmas at home, and I am going to try and make a big Christmas dinner. Ham, yams, mashed potatoes, gravy, bread, green bean cassarole. YUM! I've never made a big holiday dinner so I hope it turns out. We are spending the Monday after Christmas with my husbands father, and grandparents. His grandmother is one of those old fashion everything from scratch southern cooks, so the food is always soo good! Cant wait for that =)

Day 6: Favorite holiday memory as a child?

Well Im not gonna lie, I dont remember ever having great Christmas' growing up. Maybe we did before we got older and really realized what was really going on. Soo I guess my favorite holiday memory is the first Christmas I had with my husbands family. Making home made candy, tons of gifts, wine, laughing, and family games! I loved it!

 25 Days of Christmas Day 3: What is your favorite thing about Christmas?

I LOVE everything about Christmas! I love driving around and looking at all the different homes decorated with lights and lawn decor. I love the smell of Christmas trees, I love decorating the tree with my family, I love all the big beautiful wrapping paper. I love the look of everyones face when they open up their presents, I love starting new traditions with my family. I love making candy every year with my MIL. This will be the first year that we dont get to do that, its gonna be a lonely Christmas not being able to be surrounded by family.

25 Days of Christmas Day 4: What are you hoping for this Christmas?

Well I honestly just love being able to give the gifts on Christmas. I love spoiling my family. But I will admit that I am hoping for a few things this year. I would love a Nook from Barnes and Noble, a new Coach Poppy purse, a new camera, I would love to get my hair done, and maybe some new perfume. Its not to much to ask for. =)

Day 1: Have you been naughty or nice this year?

Well of course I have been nice! This year has been full of heartache with my daughter's brain diagnosis so its been super hard, and we are soo looking forward till next year! I am going to try and plan on being a little more naughty for my husband next year, this year has just been hell for us and we have lost a little affection for each other. That's my news years resolution, to be more affectionate and spontaneous!... lol we shall see!

Day 2: Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? If yes when? If no when do you plan to start?

YES! First off I LOVE shopping. Second this year a lot of the stores have been trying to make Black Friday less hextic by having great sales all year long. I started my shopping Labor Day weekend with buying this:
