Christmas/Holiday Wish List!

"Lori's" - Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

TodaysMama (link to: http://bit.ly/tmwishlist) and GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What is your holiday wish for your family?
That we could all be together. I have a son in the Marines who is married to a Marine that I have not met yet (they live out of state). My daughter married a Marine and he is away for training. So right now they are each in a different state. So... to bring them ALL home and in one place would be great.

2. What is your Christmas morning tradition?
IF we haven't opened our gifts on Christmas Eve, they we open them that morning. They we load up some of our dinner item's & gifts and we drive to my Parent's house where most of the family meet to enjoy dinner, company & gifts.

3. If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be? Hmmm? for myself? That is a hard one. I could say a house-house. I could say a second car/vehicle. But I think for myself it would be someone to teach me all about my camera and to improve my pictures(F-stop, shutter speed, lighting, etc.).

4. How do you make the holidays special without spending any money?
I would have to say hauling out the different Christmas video's, esp. Polar Express, make some snacks and sit around with family to watch them.


5. What games did you play with your family growing up? Card games, some board games. Kerplunk is one I remember, and yes, we got an Atari later on.

6. What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood?
Meeting at my parent's house for Christmas. We use to drive to my Grandparents house when I was lil.


7. Where would you go for a Christmas-away-from-home trip?
To what I call "home away from home" which means my Grandparents house. I love it there.

8. Check out GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) and tell us, what are the three top items on your GameStop Wish List this year?
1) a black & blue DS for my son-in-law
2) a Kinect for my son's Xbox360
3) New accessories for my Wii ( controllers, headset, etc.)

*this blogging thing is somewhat new to me, I will see if I can add some pictures. If you can see them, then I did. :O)
