Dishing It! Party ~~~ Christmas Traditions

I think the nasty, Grinch like cold that has lived in all my children for the past month is almost out of our house. Cheers all around! A few coughs here and there, but nothing like it was, and everyone seems to be feeling better.

So, today's it's time for some fun! Amanda at Serenity Now is hosting another Dishing It! Party. A special December version all about Christmas traditions. Time to share our traditions and meet/get to know some new friends. Grab your cup of cocoa and join in the fun!

~Do you have any specific traditions that your family looks forward to each Christmas? My girls love to pile into the car one night, after dark, with some popcorn and drinks, and drive around and look at Christmas lights. They talk about this all the time.

~Is your tree real or fake? We have a real tree. So lucky, my brother-in-law has a tree farm and lives about 5 minutes down the road from us.

~Do you have any favorite ornaments? I love the ornaments we've bought while on vacations, but my favorites are definitely the ones the girls have made themselves.

~What's your favorite Christmas treat? Hands down, Christmas cookies!

~Coolest crafty thing you made or home decor thing you tried this Christmas season? Ahh, nothing. Which I hate because I had so many ideas. But, see first paragraph.

~Your favorite Christmas movie? Love The Grinch-it's a family favorite! I also love to watch It's a Wonderful Life-can you believe I had never seen it before meeting my husband!

~Most difficult person you have to buy for? The older girls are getting a bit tougher. Their lists are just as long as the little ones, but their requests are much more expensive!

~What's the number one thing on your kids'/husband's/wife's/significant other's list this year? All the kids want Pillow Pets!

~If Santa could bring you one big surprise this year, what would you want it to be? It would have to be the Coach purse that my husband doesn't know he's giving me but has already been purchased I've been eyeing.
