Santa Baby

Some of my favorite Christmas memories... this has been fun thinking about them. I love that my parents had such a fun time during Christmas, they'd go over the top for us, and it was just magic! My dad would set up a video camera, turn it on to the empty living room, then turn it off. He'd set up some presents, turn the camera, on and off, and go on like this until the room was full of gifts! We'd wake them up at some obnoxious hour and stare in the living room all excited about Santa coming. When he told us he set up a video camera through the night and he must have got Santa on video! So we all would watch the tape and see presents appear out of thin air... well, dad said Santa was SO FAST that we couldn't even catch him on tape! We were blown away... NO WAY MAN! That was awesome.

We have had fun with our kids too, and I try to carry on some of the same traditions my parents started. We make chili and cornbread Christmas eve, read the Christmas Story and choose one present to open before bed. Christmas morning the kids wake us up and we open everything else. It's so fun...

I am seriously SO EXCITED for Christmas this year with my family :D

Guess what? Cotton Charm Quilts is having a Christmas giveaway too! I am so excited about it. I just went shopping for several hours yesterday at my LQS and still have stars in my eyes.
