I just ran a contest on my page. To enter it you had to post a favorite holiday memory of yours. The winner was chosen at random and since I love giving out free stuff I chose two winners instead of just one!
Here are the entries stories below:
"Last year listening to my future step daughter (she just turned 10), trying to convince my son (who was only 6 months at time) to cry to get mommy and daddy up so "they" could open presents...mind you it was 530 in the morning. it was the cutest thing with the "conversation" I've ever heard!!!"
"My favorite christmas memory is very short and simple...waking up last christmas morning, looking in the crib at my son's beautiful face and wishing him his very 1st Merry Christmas! ♥"
"My favorite holiday memory was the first Christmas my husband and I spent together (dating at the time of course). Buying our first ornament together and hanging it on our tree was such a great memory. I'm so sad we won't be spending this Christmas together, but he'll be in my thoughts as well as our sons' thoughts this holiday season. ♥"
"my favorite memory would have to be last christmas. hailey was so excited about opening presents.. she loved it so much, that we had to hide other peoples presents because she would open them, thinking they were for her.
actually, i have two favorites. years ago, waking up at 4a.m. to open presents because my mom was in labor with my little brother, what a christmas :)"
"When I was a child I would always wait up so I could meet Santa. But I always ended up falling asleep. This year my mom reminded me that I would do this year after year. Santa also showed up at my house veryyyy late, as he waited for me to fall asleep. Out of all my siblings, I was the last to go to bed and the first to rise in the morning. I had my first child this year, and I can only hope he's just as excited for Christmas as I was! I'm excited to start traditions and make lots of memories with my little man! =) "
" As a child Christmas ment the world to me. So the year I wasn't sure that Santa existed was the year we built our house. The house wasn't done yet but the rugs were just put in.... I woke up in the morning and found Santas boot prints all around the tree and down the hallway to where my room was going to be. As I followed the bootmarks all I could think about was how MAD my mom was gonna be cause ...Santa didn't take his boots off and I knew for sure Santa was real cause there was no way mom would allow this to happen. I walked into my room and he set up my new bedroom set..... Mom woke up and boy was she mad.... My step dad went outside for a cig and yelled to me...I looked up on the roof and there was sled and Santas deer prints!!!! I had no doughts after that!"
"Spending time with my grandparents everyone got together there was 28 grand childeren then needless to say there was a hosue full
Really miss those's days not many left anymore and no one gets together like they did back then how sad :("
" My favorite Holiday Memories are singing Christmas carols. There are two times that stick in my head one is singing on Christmas Day at Gramas house with Tina Talbot, Marcia Frasier, Donna Staves (Talbot) and Lisa Moxham. We each picked a s...ong to sing and I still remember that the one Marcia sang (Winter Wonderland) was my favorite. Another Christmas Carols memory is sitting at home around the kitchen table with print-outs of Christmas songs and mom and Butch signing with Lisa and I. I think I love to sing carols with my kids because of these memories."
"Another one I have is when my mom let us decorate ourselves and we decorated every tree outside with green, gold and silver garland! It must have looked horrible but she left it."
The winners are Leah Meyer and Brooke Whitney!!
