A Green Christmas

by Hopeful Spirit on Sunday, September 9, 2007

Sandy Carl­son at Writ­ing in Faith tagged me to par­tic­i­pate in this meme. Thanks for think­ing of me, Sandy! :smile:

What is your favorite Christ­mas gift?

Any­thing that some­one has made them­selves. I love it when friends drop by with goodie bags filled with cook­ies they have baked, for instance.

What is your best mem­ory of Christmas?

Watch­ing my kids’ eyes light up when they saw what Santa left for them on Christ­mas morn­ing and lis­ten­ing to them read the let­ter he always wrote them.

What do you pre­fer in a tree? Fake or real?

Real. The more Char­lie Brown-ish the better.

What is your favorite Carol?

“Silent Night.”

What is your favorite Christ­mas Dinner?

We stopped hav­ing for­mal Christ­mas din­ners because they require too much prepa­ra­tion and no one wants to sit down to a big, fancy din­ner. Even though all of the kids are big now, they still get a lot of presents that they want to spend the day play­ing with such as video games and electronics.

We usu­ally set up a buf­fet and every­one munches as they desire.
Do you wear a Santa hat at Christmas?

Sure do! And some­times I wear antlers!

Have you ever seen Santa deliv­er­ing gifts?

Yes, and had great con­ver­sa­tions with him, too. A cou­ple of times, I’ve even deliv­ered car­rots to the rein­deer who were wait­ing out­side while he took the presents out of his bag and left them on the hearth for the kids.

I am tagging:

And, of course, any­one else who wants to join in!


Wel­come back to On the Hori­zon! So glad you’re vis­it­ing again. Be sure to leave a com­ment and add any posts that you like to the var­i­ous social book­mark­ing sites using the links just below the posts. Thanks for stop­ping by!

Hope­ful Spirit,
Thanks for join­ing this bit of fun! Sounds like the Christ­mas spirit is alive and well with you. I share your appre­ci­ate of home­made Christ­mas gifts! All we really need are those gifts from the heart!

God bless your Sunday!

Christ­mas sounds like fun at your house and am so glad some­one is giv­ing the rein­deer their carrots.

Christ­mas is my favorite time of the year! It’s never too early to start think­ing about it! Thanks for the tag.

I love christ­mas and new year time. It brings with it so much fes­tiv­i­ties and good­ies. I just love receiv­ing gifts from santa and danc­ing till morn­ing hours. This time is all fun time.

Christ­mas has always been one of the most antic­i­pated sea­sons of the year espe­cially for Fil­ipinos. Hey, I saw that your plan­ning to write more posts about Bohol, you might want to visit my site. I might be able to con­tribute some ideas for you.
