A holiday tradition:
We were allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve.
It was always matching jammies for Jenn and I.
As soon as we opened them, we had to put them on.And of course, seeing that we were the only twins
and girls (at the time) in the family, it was a big deal.
A few years ago we started it up again and it was a huge
hit with our family. My Grandmother really loves it.
She loves saying she has twin Granddaughters.

Funny holiday story:
We always have Christmas Eve dinner at my mom's.
One year, she got new rugs and told everyone NOT to puttheir cups on the floor. Of course, I do and then I spill it all
over the place. My whole family saw it and was like she is gonna kill you.
So what did I do? I sat on the spot, so she wouldn't see it.
I got busted when I got back up and the back of my pants were all wet.
On Christmas morning, my stocking was filled with no-spill sippy cups!
Oh and I was in college when this happened.
My family still brings it up today.
Have I ever been on a sleigh ride?
No, I haven't but I would like to.
Fun holiday memory:
I have so many wonderful memories that it would
hard to pick just one. The one that sticks out the most is that I once got a donkey
pinata as a gift and I was like what the hell is this??
Inside were plane tickets to Spain.
My mom couldn't find a bull pinata so she got me a donkey one.
I will never forget opening it and being like
you got me a pinata?? What the??
Thanks Jenn for this questionaire,
it was so fun!!
What are your favorite things about Christmas??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!
Best, Marie

I love that you tried to cover it up by sitting on it. Haha! I know it's the thought that counts and all but I would have been disappointed about a pinata too. Thankfully she redeemed herself with the tickets.
ReplyDeleteEtsy is THE BEST for people who already have everything... it has SAVED me on multiple occasions!
ReplyDeleteBut like, you can never have too many purses!!!! Hahaha! I am laughing so hard at getting the sippy cups since you spilled your drink. And the donkey pinata is so awesome!!!! You are right about hot chocolate, you gotta have the marshmallows or at least whipped cream!
ReplyDeleteI like white lights, I like the way candy canes look but I do not eat them too much unless they are filled with chocolate : O
