LOL I love that we answered exact opposite on the clear vs colored lights question. I said clear outside, color on tree. Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe always traveled until kid #3 came along and we finally put our foot down. I love having my family together on Christmas morning and will treasure as long as I can. Christmas cards are my fave too! Have a super week!
ReplyDeleteWe make our rounds on Christmas and I hate it. ho ho no. LOL
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Tough to deal with this time of year. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking you need to share this hot cocoa recipe. I tried to make one last year and it was a big fat fail. lol. I love being home for Christmas... and we're hosting this year... so I'm totally stoked for that. I've got to take those wins when I can. ;) First married Christmas was one of my favorites, too!
ReplyDeletehomemade hot cocoa sounds fantastic! On Christmas morning my dad always makes us mexican hot chocolate and we eat leftover cookies :)
ReplyDeleteYeah we made the rounds on Christmas day until our kids came along. With all of our (divorced and remarried) parents living nearby we often stopped at 3 4 places in one day! It was exhausting but something we did for our parents. But the first year we had our child I told everyone that I was not budging from our house for anything! They were all welcome to visit but I wanted to enjoy time at home... my oldest is now 13 and while we will occasionally venture out in the afternoon we still spend most of our day at home and I just love it.
ReplyDeleteYAY for a real tree this year! And all the soft white lights on the tree, and fun colors outside <3

I'm very sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is and I find it to be even harder when it is the holiday time. To be honest, I find the holiday time but wonderful and sorrowful at the same time. Sending you big hugs.
ReplyDeleteThis linkup was so fun, though it did make me super nostalgic for Christmas when I was growing up. I love your answer for your best gift given and received- definitely not cheesy! Still thinking of you as you mourn the loss of your friend <3
ReplyDeleteYay for the real tree! It makes the house smell so good!
ReplyDeleteYay for a real tree! I wish we could have one.
ReplyDeleteYou answer to number 6&7 is just the sweetest! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
