My favorite is the cranberry juice and gingerale toast at the Christmas meal. Everyone, including the littlest angels get to use Great grandma's crystal glasses. It is a very sweet tie to all of those who have gone before.<br />5.What is the best gift you ever gave anyone? <br />My Mom and Dad once wanted a depth finder for their boat. It was too much of a stretch financially for me at that time, so I went to the local boat company and begged an empty depth finder box. Into the box I put a ball of twine with a brick tied on the end, a pad of note paper and a pencil and a 50' measuring tape. On the top of the box I stenciled "DIY" just before the printed name of the depth finder. The look on my Dad's face when he opened it was hilarious.... He kept the box beside his chair with all of his "good stuff" until the day he died!Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07311471087748558924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-66507982302394880952010-12-09T12:36:19.207-05:002010-12-09T12:36:19.207-05:001.

Do Tell: Christmas 2010 ...Tuesday, December 7, 2010<br />Do Tell: Christmas 2010 Edition<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Greetings, peeps! Are you feeling the Christmas spirit yet? Or are you all bogged down in the minutiae and the must-do's of the season? <br /><br /><br />I thought it might be nice to take a moment and think about the bright spots of the holidays. Would you like to answer a few "Do Tell" questions, and share your holiday favorites with each other?<br /><br /><br />Here goes... I will answer the questions in the comments section, and I hope that you will, too!<br /><br /><br />1.What is your favorite Christmas song? <br /> Probably I'll be home for Christmas -- it always makes me cry but it reminds me of my longing to be with family when I was younger and the fact that I long to have my own girls around me now that I'm older.<br /><br />2.What is your favorite Christmas movie?<br /> That's a tie between the 1954 version of A Christmas Carol with Allister Sim AND, of course, It's a Wonderful Life. I never miss them.<br /><br />3.Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?<br /> Yes I am; but with my still broken leg, I'd be content with a green one with white spots!<br /><br />4.Do you have any special family traditions at Christmas?<br /> Take-out Chinese food on Xmas eve ('cause Mom has a lot of cooking to do the next day).<br /><br />5.What is the best gift you ever gave anyone?<br /> When we were young (around 1984), I completely surprised my husband a new guitar on Xmas morning. He was overjoyed!<br /> The best one I ever received was when my boss gave me a cordless drill with 2 rechargeable power packs.Sandy aka Doris the Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135704111702244735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-40898634188256096502010-12-08T12:00:11.691-05:002010-12-08T12:00:11.691-05:001.

I also love Mary's Lullaby and O Holy Night.<br /><br />2. What is your favourite Christmas Movie? Again I have a few. I really enjoy Christmas Vacation, Miracle on 34th Stree, Mr. Bean's Christmas<br /><br />3. Are you dreaming of a White Christmas? Yes. Christmas just wouldn't be the same without snow.<br /><br />4. Do you have special family traditions at Christmas? Each member of our family has a piece of a mini nativity set and we bring each piece together and read the nativity story as a family. We also do a tour of lights, set the tree up, usually, December 1 on my son's birthday.<br /><br />5. What is the best gift you ever gave anyone? Lego, the kids loved it!!

Do you have any special family traditions at Christmas? Charades after dinner at my in-laws house.<br /> 5. What is the best gift you ever gave anyone? I can't even recall! Probably a photo album that I gave my sister.

"A Christmas Story" I laugh every time.<br /><br />Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? No way, no how - down south that would be being separated from loved ones as we cannot drive in the snow.<br /><br />Do you have any special family traditions at Christmas? We go to church together on Christmas eve and then have a steak dinner together after church. Then all the nieces and nephews open presents from the aunts and uncles. This way they get to be with their families Christmas morning and no one is under pressure or rushing.<br /><br />What is the best gift you ever gave anyone? $400 for a set of tires they needed badly. They asked for a loan and I gave them to her for Christmas. We both cried.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851293154388793520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-81789429041089920762010-12-08T10:35:14.622-05:002010-12-08T10:35:14.622-05:001. o holy night 2. love actually 3. i live in soca...1. o holy night 2. love actually 3. i live in socal so i don't get one but in my HEART i have one. 4. one gift on christmas eve opened. stockings always first in the morning after breakfast 5. a mini basket of fruits with the 'fruit of the spirit' written on them. jkjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-53145408233313333182010-12-08T08:51:42.651-05:002010-12-08T08:51:42.651-05:00What is your favorite Christmas song?
