Tag, I'm it!!!

Steph got me..... So here I go:

1. Your favorite holiday memory: From my childhood: After my great-grandfather died in 1970 my grandmother and great-grandmother would always spend the night with us on Christmas Eve . On Christmas morning one of us kids would ring a bell to wake everyone up VERY early. Then we'd open gifts and have a huge Christmas breakfast.

2. Your favorite holiday cookie or treat: Only one!?! Hmmmm....I'd guess molasses/gingerbread cookies since it's the only time I make them.

3. Where you will be over the holidays: Dec 23 Christmas dinner with my parents; Dec. 24 Christmas Eve service at church and then an Open House here; Dec. 25 home for gift opening and breakfast then to Va Beach for Christmas dinner and gift exchange with dh's parents and sister. Our kids will stay there for a few days while dh and I take a couple of days to ourselves at House Mountain Inn. We were there for our 20th anniversary this summer. Great place!

4. Your favorite holiday song or carol.: Silent Night, Angels We Have Heard on High, O Holy Night, White Christmas (Crosby version--is there any other?)

5. A special holiday tradition in your family: My parents and grandmother coming to our house Christmas morning for breakfast and to share the excitement with the kids :o) Then spending the rest of the day visiting with family.

That was pretty painless for my first time "It". April and Trek--tag--you're it!

Back to regularly scheduled Christmas knitting--2/3 of one sock left!!! I hope to finish before the weekend is out!
