Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year! I was recently tagged by Heather from Terrell Family Fun to participate in this great activity to get to know some of us bloggers a little better. Here we go!
- What is your first Christmas memory?
I have no idea. That’s probably pretty bad. I always remember snow days and winter vacations consisting of sledding until we were forced to go inside, building snow caves and snowmen. If I could only go back to all that it would be amazing! - What is the #1 item on your kid’s wish list?
Not applicable. My niece on the other hand is 1 1/2 and I’m pretty sure she is all about baby dolls right now! (The newest niece is about a month and a half and I’m pretty sure she is content with naps and food that I can’t provide.) - Were you scared / nervous of Santa as a kid or did you run right up to him?
I don’t know… I’m going to have to ask my mom. I’m sure I was a little nervous. I’ve never been one to go stand somewhere where it draws attention in front of a crowd. - Does Santa wrap his gifts or are they unwrapped and set up Christmas morning?
Santa wraps all his gifts. I’ve only heard about this unwrapped business recently! - Gift Bag or Wrapped Gifts?
Wrapped for sure all with a note saying “From Santa”. - What is your favorite Christmas movie?
Charlie Brown Christmas & The Family Stone - Does your family have an Elf on the Shelf?
Nope. We’re good all year long so we don’t have to worry about that! - What is your Christmas Eve tradition?
I’m going to be completely honest… I still leave “Santa” a beer or beverage of choice and some cookies. Yes, I’m 29. (My dad loves it.) - Do you stay home for Christmas or do have Christmas morning somewhere else?
I go to my parents and my brother and his family come over. - What is on your Christmas list this year?
This was pretty hard. A new camera lens, lift tickets to the local mountain, some good ole VT microbrews, yoga towel. I enjoy surprises. Really, I just want to see some lifelong friends and hang out with the family and meet my newest niece. The best gifts are the ones you can’t buy.

You leave a beer for Santa!!! I think that’s great! :o)
I’m glad you mentioned The Family Stone! When I tell most people that it’s one of my Christmas favorites, they normally have no idea what I’m talking about. But it’s so good!!
Merry Christmas, Diana! I hope you have a fantastic time with your family!

Sure do! Or beverage of choice. Gotta mix it up a little 😉
I love that you love The Family Stone too! I’m amazed that not a lot of people know what it is. It’s greatness. One of my favorite scenes in the bar where she starts to dance, gets me laughing!
Merry Christmas to you and your family too! Thank you so much!
Thanks for playing along – I love the leaving a beer for Santa!
