Hey!
I’ve been so busy with all my last minute Christmas stuff and life in general, so I haven’t been around the blog much the last week or two. Hopefully that changes soon. I need to catch up with you guys ASAP, promise! ๐ A lot of things happening right now, so my mind is preoccupied. Today though, I figured it would be fun to post this holiday themed blog post since Christmas is coming up soon and I’m not sure when I’ll get another chance to post. I seen Brandie (Running on Words and Wine) post this on her blog, so I figured I would too. I love Christmas. ๐
Candy Canes? Yes or No?
I don’t mind candy canes. I don’t usually eat them by themselves very much anymore, unless it’s a mini one. When I was a kid I used to love eating them right off the Christmas tree though. I do love candy cane flavored things though! Especially chocolate, like peppermint bark. I LIVE FOR PEPPERMINT BARK!
Christmas morning early riser or sleep in?
Honestly, I’m an early riser period these days. So I guess I am an early riser on Christmas morning; as a kid I was too. As an adult, I’m more of an early riser because I get way too excited about giving everyone their gifts. LOL. I don’t even care about gifts myself, but giving gifts is my thing and so I get way too stoked about everyone seeing their gifts, haha.
Did you shop on Black Friday?ย
This year I went to a couple places to see what kind of deals they had going on, but I don’t think I bought anything besides one DVD for myself. Normally, I don’t usually do Black Friday shopping. I don’t like big crowds and being around a lot of people at one time, so I usually stay home.
Christmas tree up in November?ย
Yes, I love putting my Christmas tree up in November. I’m very guilty of this and I don’t even care. Judge all you want, but I love being able to enjoy my Christmas for as long as possible.
Do you get holiday ideas from Pinterest?
I love pinning holiday ideas in my Pinterest boards, but I don’t always do them. I guess I just collect pins. But if I was looking for an idea, I would definitely go to Pinterest.
Christmas Glam or Ugly Sweater?
Ugly sweater, for sure. I’m not the “glam” type of person. I don’t really dress up and I definitely do not wear any makeup at all. I’m all about jeans, converse shoes, and ugly sweaters.
Stocking Stuffers: Wrapped or unwrapped?
As much as I love wrapping gifts, I don’t usually wrap stocking stuffers. Depending on the size of the gift, I will though; but very rarely.
Traditional or Modern Christmas songs?
Traditional Christmas songs. I don’t really listen to new Christmas music (or Christmas music in general), so I don’t know what all modern Christmas songs are out there or that come out. So I know and am used to the old traditional Christmas songs/versions of the old songs. I do love the Hanson Christmas album though, haha.
Fruitcake?
Never had it. I don’t even think I’ve ever seen one, but I hear they’re gross so I probably would never try it.
Is your Christmas shopping finished?
Yes! All prezzies are bought and wrapped. My Christmas shopping is officially done as far as buying gifts goes. I do have to stop by the bank before Christmas to get some money for my niece and nephew as their gifts, but it’s done.
Is there snow in December where you live?
Sadly, no. I live in Florida and there’s no snow here. On the rare occasion it’ll snow in northern Florida, but hardly ever, especially not in South Florida where I currently live. When I used to live in Illinois as a kid, it snowed and that was fun.
Classic Show: A Charlie Brown Christmas or Rudolph?
A Charlie Brown Christmas, always. I love Charlie Brown anything, so I always make it a point to watch the Christmas show every year. As I do with all the holidays where there is a Charlie Brown special.
This weekend we’re going to Andy’s parents house for Christmas, so I will be pretty busy with that. I’m excited though since we haven’t had Christmas with them in such a long time. What are you holiday plans?
In case youย missed it;
Random|| Picture Update.
December TBR.
Wrap Up|| November.
I hope you have a great day!
This was so fun to read! I also love peppermint bark!
Thanks! The hubby’s parents sent us home with a big bag of peppermint bark, so I am excited. Haha.
YUM!
I don’t think I knew you’re from Illinois! Do you miss the snow and different seasons? I think I’d miss fall if I moved south.
Peppermint bark – YES! I don’t like candy canes…but I’ll take peppermint bark any day. I love Andes mints too…does that count?
No sleeping in for me, either. Sunnie would have me up early regardless, but now I’m so used to getting up early for work that I can’t sleep in past 6. ๐
Merry Christmas! Enjoy the weekend with family!
Yeah, I lived in Illinois from when I was a baby until I believe third grade. Moved to Florida until freshmen year of high school, where we went back to Illinois for a year. I do miss the seasons! Although I do like seeing snow and playing in it sometimes, I hated it when it lasted for so long. haha.
Peppermint bark and Andes are the best! Yeah, I’m so used to getting up early for work too that I just always get up early, even on days off. I don’t know what sleeping in is anymore. I hope you and your family had a great Christmas! ๐
You’re so lucky that all your shopping is done. I have a couple of things I need to pick up and I am dreading going out into all that holiday chaos. Hopefully it won’t be too busy (who am I kidding, yes it will). Hope you have a lovely Christmas!
It was nice getting my shopping done before Christmas. I usually end up with having to do last minute stuff. I hope you had a great Christmas!
I did, thank you. I hope you did as well!
