Day 7: Most memorable Christmas

So I'm not really sure what my most memorable Christmas was, but Christmas 2010 was fun with my best friend, Mercedes and (at the time) her soon to be husband. There was tons of snow and we had a blast. I have enjoyed the unusual warmth of this December so far, but it is a bit weird that it's raining in December instead of snowing. So let's take a trip back to December 2010:

I can't take credit for this awesome snowman, it belonged to the neighbors, I just had to take a pic with it

Day 6: Favorite Ornament

I almost thought I wouldn't be able to blog today because this morning I got up and the internet wasn't working. My dad was on the phone with the company and it was 6:30 in the morning. They said they wouldn't be able to come out until tomorrow, but luckily the internet has returned on its own...for now. I just hope it stays, because last time the internet stopped working out of no where, it took 2-3 weeks for them to fix it.
Anyway onto today's Christmas Blog post. Day 6 is favorite ornament. I'm not really sure I have just one favorite, but seeing as we haven't opened our Christmas tree ornament boxes, the one that comes to my mind as my favorite is my Tweety bird Hallmark ornament. It lights up green and says "I've been weally, weally good this year" and you can turn it and it lights up red and says "I've been a writtle bit bad this year."

Also, today at work we finished up our decorating for Christmas. Yesterday we hung lights and today we put up the garland and decorated the little tree we have. I didn't get a very good photo from my phone, but here it is. 

we are so festive!

Day 5: Best Gift

My best Christmas gift was my car 3 years ago, it was a Christmas/birthday gift and I also traded my meal plan at school for it, in other words, I decided to pay for my own food and my dad paid for my car, because if you were to add up the high cost of the meal plan for the rest of my semesters at the time when I got my car, it almost covered the entire cost of my car. To me, that was a good trade. It meant I could pick what I wanted to eat at the store and then make myself food.

Favorite Song

Day 4, favorite Christmas song. I'd have to say my favorite song is Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.

No Santa...

Day 3:When/Where did you learn Santa wasn't real?

I honestly have no idea when I realized Santa wasn't real. Maybe it was somewhere around 6th grade or so, probably later than most, but my parents (my mom) was sooo good at being Santa and acting surprise. My parents got gifts from Santa too, so how could I not believe he was real?!? My mom would buy gifts, my dad would buy gifts and they would wrap them and say from Santa. I don't know what happens in other houses, but I don't think parents usually get gifts from Santa. I guess it was a great way for me to keep believing. I also had separate presents that said "from mom and dad." So if I had those presents from mom and dad, I didn't suspect that Santa wasn't real.

Day 2: 2012 Wishlist

December 2nd of the blogging challenge is your 2012 Wishlist. My wishlist is short, but they are expensive items. For this Christmas, I want 4 new winter tires for my car. With having to drive 20 miles to work each day, I am adding miles to my car faster than ever before and in the past 2 years I have replaced 1 tire a year, 1 due to a flat and the other due to it being worn out. It's time to replace all 4 at once.

Item 2: I want a tablet, an android tablet and I've been looking at different tablets for a while, but I want to really make sure I love the tablet I'm getting so that I don't want to replace it after a year or two with something better. Lately I've been looking at the Asus Transformer tablets, since I was able to play with my cousin's during Thanksgiving. Hopefully I'll be able to make a decision soon and make that purchase.

Lastly, this Christmas I get to spend with my boyfriend, Brian. I'm looking forward to it as his family seems to have more traditions than mine and hopefully it will be a lot of fun. Plus I haven't seen him since the beginning of October.

That's pretty much it for my wishlist this year. I've become more practical and think about each purchase I make these days about things I really need versus just buying a bunch of things I want. I'm trying to sell/get rid of a lot of the toys in my closet, because when I do eventually get my own place, it will be small and I just don't need all the stuff I have at home.

Taking the Challenge...

I've decided to participate in the 25 days of Blogging Christmas Challenge from Peanut Butter Jenny. You can check out her blog at PBJenny! I highly recommend her blog! She's a great designer too! Here is the challenge:

So today is December 1st, my favorite Christmas movie is The Polar Express. I remember when it came out in theaters and I went with my family to see it in 3D, definitely one of the best 3D movies I've seen as well.
