Seams like yesterday! Many thanks for your amazing giveaway.<br />My christmas memories are very young, since christmas in my childhood was `forbiden`, because of the comunism. But am am happy as a child when I see our children happines. We allways find a friend to dress like santa and come to our back yard during christmas dinner. And this year hopefully santa will have to come to a new adress :-))<br />Thanks, Nancy.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439189221389184768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-25906458595180751662010-09-16T22:42:20.165-04:002010-09-16T22:42:20.165-04:00Cute idea... my favorite Christmas memory was when...Cute idea... my favorite Christmas memory was when my brother ate too many chocolate covered cherries at my Grandma's on Christmas eve... may mom kept telling him to stop but he kept sneaking more and more. When we go home he put on his Garfield pajamas and went to sleep. And in true Christmas morning style my sister, brother and I all got up at 5 am to check our stockings, and my brother had chocolate covered cherry vomit all over himself. My sister asked "Dave, what's all over your pajamas?" And he said "GARFIELD" Makes me laugh when ever I think about it.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768169214183930749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-89585710613759310152010-09-16T07:57:19.923-04:002010-09-16T07:57:19.923-04:00Nancy thanks for the chance to win such wonderful ...Nancy thanks for the chance to win such wonderful goodies and thanks also for asking everyone about their favourite Christmas memories - I've enjoyed reading them all!<br /><br />I love Christmas so much and remember as a child going to midnight mass (a real treat to stay up so late!) walking home and hanging up our socks for Santa and leaving out some treats for Santa and his reindeer. Then it was time for bed and I remember thinking I'd never fall asleep before Santa arrived - but somehow I alway did! The sheer excitement of running down to the Christmas tree on Chrismas morning with my sister and brother was just fantastic. In more recent times I love seeing Mark and Adam enjoy all the magic of Christmas (usually starting at 5\6am!) including the messy reindeer who manage to drop bits of carrots that they must have munching on in the lads' bedrooms! <br /><br />Thanks again Nancy - now I can't wait for Christmas!!stampingandstitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234850691152873335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-44254256336658842222010-09-15T16:53:19.616-04:002010-09-15T16:53:19.616-04:00Love your header photo btw--I always loved to go t...Love your header photo btw--I always loved to go to my gma's for Christmas eve buffet and to see Santa Claus who always had time to stop by!Charkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143417100244630251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-57966265938958812582010-09-15T14:59:59.973-04:002010-09-15T14:59:59.973-04:00What a great giveaway!

I have great memories of wonderful aromas of cooking around our house growing up - turkey, plum pudding, spiced beef ... hm, gorgeous.<br /><br />I now adore making memories with my children and hubby - milk and cookies for Santa, reindeer food with a sprinkling of glitter in the back garden so rudolph can find the house! So much fun.

I so love that you write about your memories of yesterday. I so believe that we could learn some great things from days gone bye. I so love your blog header. Beautiful picture. I am becoming a follower too okay sweetie. <br /><br />My favourite Christmas would be when I was a little girl and I so wanted a cut Christmas tree and we always had an artifical one. My Daddy was working and couldn't get to go into the woods to cut one down. I will never forget when I came home from school and I asked Mom if we could put up our tree and she told me to go behind the house. There was my Daddy bringing in the smallest, but most beautiful tree I ever saw. I actually cried when it was sitting decoarated in our living room. It was the best "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree ever! Thanks Nancy for helping me to go back in time to a day so greatly loved.

One of my favorite Christmas memory is when my youngest daughter (she was 6)made a fop package for her uncle. My brother in law was always teasing her by pulling her ponytail. In that year there was a commercial on the radio for a temp agency using a story about Suzanne. Now we had a doll (an ugly one) with a ponytail. She put her in a box and I had to write a note saying: This is Suzanne, you can pull her ponytail instead of the one of Ann.<br />When my brother in law (who is a very quit person)opened his gift, I never seen him laugh so loud and hearty. And all the family laughed too. He kept the doll and put her in his study.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258834989319217928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-55060679610009701172010-09-15T03:43:45.938-04:002010-09-15T03:43:45.938-04:00I love Christmas!

My nephew, who was 2 years back then, really enjoyed opening his present, but when opening a package with clothes, he just threw them under the coffee table and immediately went to find another present! I guess he didn't like the soft presents for christmas =)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649186262888720886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-22439965740609693192010-09-15T00:47:33.206-04:002010-09-15T00:47:33.206-04:00what a great giveaway nancy! i am eyeing your gran...what a great giveaway nancy! i am eyeing your grandmother's vintage buttons! <br /><br />what i remember the most about christmas during my childhood was carefully untaping my presents to take a peek!

We had to spend Christmas on our own as we had no family close by. The kids got up on Christmas morning & were sitting around the tree opening their presents when that phone call came through. It was Daddy. The look on the kids faces was something I will never forget. They lit up like the lights on the tree. That one phone call really made our day hearing from him. <br />The thought of having to do that all over again this year is something I am not looking forward to & we are even further away from family this time :( Lets just hope that he is able to make that Christmas call again this year.<br />It is amazing how we take the little things in life for granted.<br />An early Merry Christmas to you all.<br />Happy Crafting<br />Regards<br />MelMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459358242494177328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-62334746064234318272010-09-14T22:51:44.941-04:002010-09-14T22:51:44.941-04:00Hi Nancy, wonderful selection of goodies, gorgeous...Hi Nancy, wonderful selection of goodies, gorgeous vintage buttons. someone will tons of fun creating with your yummy blog candy :)<br />My favorite Christmas memory is thinking about my grandparents and how much they enjoyed Christmas. The big colourful Christmas lights on the outside bushes with the Christmas tree peeking through the inside window & their traditional Dec 24th dinner. I just melt thinking about it,they enjoyed Christmas so much!I was given my grandfathers ceramic Christmas tree a few years back which I just cherish & I decorate my Christmas tree just the they had it with old ornaments,big lights,& knee huggers elves.Such a great memory.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344336097702603205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-43837587189092576842010-09-14T22:33:16.884-04:002010-09-14T22:33:16.884-04:00Very Nice giveaway Nancy, so nice of you.

My parents said they wanted my big gift to be from them and not Santa, they felt Santa should bring reasonable gifts, not something outlandish.<br /><br />I just remember being so happy and our whole family was so close, just happy years!!<br /><br />Thanks for the flashback!!<br /><br />Happy Holidays in advance!!!<br />DonnaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812035395430150231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907982152277390810.post-89190686650062680052010-09-14T22:09:22.625-04:002010-09-14T22:09:22.625-04:00Hi Nancy,

We celebrate Christmas on the 24th and 25th follow by 31st and 1st for new year. Thus, it is a long holiday that used up to catch up and bonding with family and friends. Not to mention the gift exchange moments and the children excitements over their gifts! Christmas is the best holiday of the year!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Evelyn @ Message Keeper<br />http://messagekeeper.blogspot.com/Message Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040023085917836139noreply@blogger.com
