A Christmas Survey

I saw this on Stephany’s blog last week so I thought I’d take part as well. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve and snuggle down easily before Santa comes tonight! ;)

1. Favourite Christmas album/CD/song?

“Baby It’s Cold Outside” by She & Him.

2. Run on Christmas morning or take the day off?

Bahaha – Working out is not on my menu whatsoever, regardless of what day it is. I’m horrible, I know.

3. What do you usually eat on Christmas morning?

When I was little it was usually a big pancake breakfast of some sort – Pancakes, hashbrowns, and of course THE BACON! Nowadays, it’s whatever’s in the cupboards, but I’m sure that will change once Isla is bigger/eating “regular” food.

4. Favourite Christmas tradition?

Driving around to look at Christmas lights, or watching Christmas movies all day.

5. Real tree, fake tree, or no tree?

Real tree all the way! Right now we’re buying cultured trees off lots, but when the little munchkin is big enough, we’ll go to the woods and hack down our own (legally, of course – you have to get a permit to cut down a tree). It’s one of my favourite Christmas memories growing up – being pulled behind the truck on a toboggan, drinking hot chocolate, getting warm around a bon fire … I can’t wait!

6. Christmas pajamas: yay or nay?

We used to get Christmas PJ’s every year (always on Christmas Eve!) so I will say “Yay” to them!

7. Where do you spend the holidays?

Wherever family is!

8. Food that you always have to have during the holiday season? Favourite Christmas food/treat?

A Terry’s Chocolate Orange!

9. Open presents all at once or take turns? Stockings: yes or no?

We take turns! It makes Christmas morning last longer that way. And YES to stockings! It’s probably my favourite part of Christmas.

10. Favourite Christmas(ish) movie?

A Muppet Family Christmas. Loooove it! And Elf is slowly winning my heart too (I watched it for the first time last year!)

Season’s Greetings from Mine to Yours

Isla’s Christmas photoshoot went awesome on Friday, and although I haven’t seen the photos yet, I know they’re going to look great on my Christmas cards this year!

I Love Christmas

Seriously. LOVE IT. I know … It’s not even the middle of November yet, but I’m feeling the Christmas love. Why, do you ask? Well, for one, it started snowing like mad yesterday, my neighbours have started turning their Christmas lights on at night (not that I’m going to yet, but it’s nice knowing that we won’t be the first house on the block to do so) ANNNND Kyle gave me my Christmas present super early. What is it? Well, if you don’t have me on Facebook, he bought me this:

A shiny, new Macbook Pro! OMG! Best husband ever? I think so! I’ve been whining about my computer sucking majorly lately, and I have a love of all things pretty, and well, hipsterish, so voilà!

I’m such a lucky girl :)
