How was your Christmas?

Spill...
Was Santa good to you?
What did you do?
Where did you go?
Share all the good stuff!

I'll start. Santa is always very good to us.
He sent the dd an email for us that said...
Hello Mudblood,
Christmas is a magical time of year, and I know how much you love magic! So pack your bags for seasonally warm weather ( think 70's). Don't forget your bathing suit and a good pair of walking shoes. Your new back pack will come in handy! Rudolph will still be recuperating so I booked you a flight on a jet. The elves have been working like house elves to think of a good gift for you! There is only one catch, you need to be ready to by January 8th!
Are you wondering where you are going???? Hold your hippogriffs........If I had a MAGIC WAND I'd wave it and send you HERE! This gift didn't fall off a back of a broom!
Love,
Santa

We stay home Christmas day and bake a ham and just eat all day and play games and cards.

oh i love how you sent her an email!

that is so fun, was she surprised? i can't wait to hear all about it.


brian got me a nook with all the fixin's...cover...lamp B&N GC. It's been fun!!! He was so proud of himself for picking it out on his own.

we had a free 3 days and two nights at our Timeshare in Atlantic City so we barreled through the snow and got here yesterday. we wrote a letter "from santa" to owen that he earned for his good grades. so we have been swimming and relaxing.

I wanted to make you a cover Ellen, but he wouldn't tell me if he was getting you one. LOL Enjoy! Did you try reading PDF's, just curious which one you got and if it read them, in larger enough print that you can see them.

We stayed home in the morning. We opened gifts and put together Lego sets.
Dh surprised me with a new hat and scarf to match my winter coat.
We spent the afternoon at my MIL's farm: ice skating and going for a walk in the snow.
Turkey supper and then opened more gifts from my SIL's family.
A very nice day!

Joyce, What a fun surprise for your DD!

Santa was very good!

We spent a few days in Indpls... Christmas Eve at my parents' house, Christmas Day @ the in-laws.
Lots of love, food, gifts, games and fun. We came home Sunday night and opened our gifts. We had snow in both locations, so that was an added bonus.

As lovely as it was, I am so glad it's OVER! LOL

haha, he wouldn't tell you? that is funny. he knows i would have bribed you with scrappy stuff. i just got home from AC so that is first on my list tomorrow to check them out. it says you connect to your PC and download PDF's so I'll let you know if I can.

Joyce, that's so cool!! I can't wait to hear all about her trip:)

As for us, Christmas morning we opened gifts here...i got a lot of rooster stuff for my kitchen, b/c i love roosters. I think it comes from growing up seeing them all over in my Mammaw Sadie's kitchen...and funny thing but my chinese zodiac sign is a rooster. The kids had a blast. then we went and opened presents with his family and mine, and got back home at around 8:30...i started a little cleaning from the mess, and the power went out. so we ended up having to pack back up and go back to my mom's to stay overnight...thank goodness the power was only off for one night!

I hope everyone's Christmas was great and Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe New Year!

My Mom does Roosters as well Jess.

Haha Ellen! You know it, I didn't have but one little foot massager to open on Christmas moring, but it was really fun, and she was excited looking at all the rides and watching the videos of the park all day. And she showed everyone the email. So it will be fun. Fingers crossed for warmer weather!

Joyce, my friends went last week and said it was absolutely amazing! I wanna' go! Drink a butterbeer for me!

Our Christmas was very nice and restful. In fact, I just got out of the house today for the first time due to the snow. A white Christmas was a first for us here in TN. The kids loved playing in it, and I liked looking at it thru the window. Oh, and Santa was good to us as well. Lots of scrappy goodies like new photoshop for my mac, new camera lens and Maggie Holmes photography class. (Yes, Santa had a little input from me this year - lol!)

ooh, I'd love to be able to take that Maggie Holmes photography class....maybe i could put that on some other wish list:)

Ours was WET. We've had maybe three dry days this december so far had about 20 inches of rain.

Apart from that we had a great day. Ended up waking the kids up about 7am so they could open presents. Usual Breakfast with my parents, then lunch with all my grandparents, in laws, mum and dad and brother.

Kids were spoilt. Whats new there though. Me, well I got a new pandora bracelet and two beads, plus a few other bits and pieces. NOTHING scrap related at all
