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!

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