(6) What is your favorite Christmas memory?
Our first Christmas in Savannah, Georgia. We had nothing but our pack out from our tiny apartment in TX. No furniture at the time, it was still on it's way from CA. We had no tree, barely any money for presents let alone food. We had won a turkey from our apt. complex office that fed us for days. It was a Christmas that was full of blessing and I will never forget it.

My hubby for our first Christmas! He graduated Basic Training 8 days prior and was home on leave!

(8) What is the worst toy/gift you've received on Christmas?
Can't think of anything.

(9) What do you LOVE about the holidays?
I love that there is this magical rudeness off switch! People, no matter where you are are so nice during the holidays!

(10) What annoys you about the holidays?
The massive amounts of people at the store when I just need 1 or 2 things!

(11) Do you prefer star or angel on top of a Christmas tree? Or something else?
I think they both are significant. We have a star for ours. Haven't found an angel that I am in LOVE with.

(12) What is your family favorite recipe at Christmas?
Springerleighs! They are yummy cookies made with anise seed that taste like candy!

Definitely a Who.

Love them! I can't wait until we get lights on our house!

I can take them or leave them.

(16) Christmas cards - do you send them, yes or no?
I try to, when I am not swamped with projects.

The giddy-ness of everyone! (Is that a word? Giddy-ness)

Stress

Don't have a favorite.

Well, yea!

All the goody baking and the smell of REAL Christmas trees!

If everyone that can't be here was here.
