getting to know each other: questions for fun

Oh my goodness!  This got me to thinking. 

 

1.  Favorite thing?  Spending Christmas with the family and the kids getting so excited about Santa, yet wishing Jesus a Happy Birthday too.

2.  Tradition?  My husband and I always had the tree up by Thanksgiving Day and after dark we had the official lighting of the outside displays and tree.  The kids just loved it.  Would get so excited and run around and around the house looking at all the lights.

3.  This is the hard one to answer.  My first thought was a warm sunny beach but when I read Sherri's dream it sounded to awesome.  I want to spend Christmas with Sherri.

 

Thanks Tracy for putting this out, it's so much fun.

Great idea, Tracy!

1.  My favorite thing about Christmas is FAMILY! I love the lights, the music, the movies, but most of all, being with my family.

2.  On Christmas Eve we hold our own candlelight service with Mark's family. We sit around the table and hold candles, turn out the lights, and Mark reads the Christmas story from Luke 2. His dad always read it until he passed away. Then we go around the table one at a time and pray aloud. After that, we sing Christmas carols, then blow out the candles. We've done this for all of the 25 years Mark & I have been married, and they had been doing it long before that. Mark's family then gets ready to go to their Christmas Eve service at church, and we get in the car and drive around looking at Christmas lights, then go home, order pizza, and watch White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. Christmas Eve is great at the Crawfords!! Christmas morning is always cinnamon rolls and presents!!

3.  Right where I am.

1.  What is your favorite thing about Christmas?

Celebrating Christ's birth and spending time with family we don't see that often


2.  What is your favorite family tradition for the holidays?

I'd have to say we don't really have one yet. Usually I guess you can say we bring my nieces up for the weekend of Thanksgiving to help put the tree up.

3.  If you could celebrate Christmas anywhere on earth, where would you want to be?

Stateside: Maryland with my other sister and nieces and family.
Internationally: Israel and Bethlehem, wow I can only imagine.

.  What is your favorite thing about Christmas?

Being with family.


2.  What is your favorite family tradition for the holidays?

Well, when I was a kid, it was always having a major household appliance break down - lol.  Actually, it is sitting around after all the hoopla is over and watching Christmas movies.  Also, driving around to look at light displays.


3.  If you could celebrate Christmas anywhere on earth, where would you want to be?

That's a tough one.  I have a couple of favorite places.  One of my very special favorites is the beach at Isle of Palms, SC, just outside Charleston.  I love to look out over the ocean and watch the sunset.  I also love Roswell, NM, and Seligman, AZ - right on Route 66.
