The lovely ladies over at www.fueledaflame.com are having a Christmas blog link up. If it’s Christmas, you know I am all over it. Some of it you already know about me, so just skip those parts.
What's your favorite holiday movie?
It’s a Wonderful Life. This is also my favourite movie of all time. My second favourite Christmas movie is White Christmas. And it’s a close second! You can read about all of my favourites right here:
Do you have any special traditions?
TONS. AND I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE. If I do it two years in a row, I consider it a tradition. I love the baking, the decorating, the movie watching, the Candlelight Strolls! I love Christmas Eve’s watching of White Christmas and opening one gift! I love seeing my family on Christmas Day!
What's your favorite ornament or decoration?
I love them all so I think I will go with an oldie. I have a sweet little stuffed bear in a slipper that Santa put in my stocking one year. He still hangs on my tree.
I also LOVE the seventies Santa candle that my Mom keeps trying to throw out and my younger sister and I pitch a fit if she tries. He’s so cute. So what his foot broke off, I painted the broken piece black so you can’t really tell he is missing his toes. Don’t mess with my traditions!

Best gift you've ever received?
My engagement ring.
Worst gift you've ever received?
How about my third blue housecoat? I don’t even like blue. My sister got a pink one, and I got a third blue one. Buy me pink or red or black, just not blue. I don’t need three housecoats either.
Favorite winter accessory?
I guess it would be my sparkly poinsettia pin, if it sparkles I am like a crow and I love it.
Real tree or fake?
REAL. I always think it’s funny when people say they don’t like the needles. We cut down our own tree so it’s fresh as fresh can be, and there are little needles dropped. In addition, I hang fake garland, and that stuff is so messy. You can’t tell me that fake trees don’t make a mess!
When and how did you find out that Santa was not real?
I was in grade four, so nine? It was well after Christmas, a boy in my class said there was no Santa. I started yelling and arguing vehemently, defending my beloved old man in red. The boy actually looked scared. I went home and indignantly told my Mom what the boy had said and how I told him off. She took me to the bathroom and locked the door (so my younger sister wouldn’t pop in unexpectedly) and my Mom told me the whole truth. I argued with her for a bit and told her I was going to count the gifts after she went to bed next year to see if any more were added while she was sleeping. I think she gave up at that point. Eventually I let what my Mom said sink in. I was like a dog with a bone; I didn’t not want to give up my belief.
PS I still hold a grudge against that stupid, little boy for ruining my Christmas. I bet you he grew up to be a big jerk as an adult too.
