What The Holidays Mean to Me |
 For you, the holidays are about emotional connections and bonds. You are happiest being around those you love. You celebrate the holidays in a minimalist style. You are likely to only give one great present and decorate your house with a few special items. During the holidays, you feel magical. You love all of the decorations and how happy people are. You like to sit back and take it all in. You think the holidays should be decadent and indulgent. You never mind gaining a few holiday pounds... it's worth it! Your favorite holiday memories strongly evoke your senses. You are vividly aware of all the tastes, smells, and sounds of the holidays. |
What Do the Holidays Mean to YOU?
I love homemade Christmases... every year, the boys and I make popcorn garland and decorate our tree with candy canes and homemade ornaments. Of course the tree HAS to be real... I LOVE the way it makes the house smell (& it's better for the environment too)! I love to wrap everyone's presents with velvet ribbons, pretty wrapping paper and candy canes clipped to these cute felt mitten clip gift tags (one of Martha Stewart's 'good things' I made =). And EVERY gift HAS to be PERFECT... something really special, not necessarily expensive. I love making Christmas cookies with my boys... and even more, I love to eat them!! I love drinking homemade hot chocolate with marshmallows & peppermint sticks on a cold night... and snuggling together to read 'Polar Express' and 'The Tale of Three Trees.' I love our tradition, that started with my family when I was young, of driving around on Christmas Eve to look at Christmas lights, and coming home to drink eggnog before bed. I still get excited when I see a completely decked out house! =) I LOVE Christmas!!!!!!! I love it's meaning, and I love it's magic.
Don't you???
Driving around last Christmas Eve looking at lights with my parents... poor little Kaleb fell asleep.
