[fussbucket]

Where do you spend Christmas eve?
Usually at home with just the three of us.

Do you go to church?
No and no one asks me to.

It depends on who's in town/alive. When my grandma was still alive we'd often visit her. This year my mom's in town so we'll be at her place.

Favorite present you are giving this year?
This will sound corny but I had more money to spend this year on charity and angel tree/toys for tots type stuff. Now that I have my own kid I feel I can better understand what young kids will like to have at different ages, and what it means to have a special something just for you, and so I've been happiest about giving those gifts.

Favorite thing to eat?
Um, everything. I have a weakness for drugstore foil-wrapped chocolate Santas.


What are you wearing on Christmas day/eve?
No idea. Something comfortable but not schlubby.

[starrieskies]

Where do you spend Christmas eve? [glow=red,2,300][/glow] At home for the most part getting my cinnamon rolls ready to bake for breakfast.

Do you go to church?[glow=red,2,300][/glow] Yep, I go with my mom. It's all she ever asks for on Christmas, and I figure I can induge that. Plus we always get slurpees after church.

Where do you spend Christmas day? [glow=red,2,300][/glow] At home. We used to go around to my parents house and then H's parents house and then to all the friends' houses, but once DS became more aware of "Christmas", I decided it was rude to pull him away from all his new toys on Christmas. So if anyone wants to see us on Christmas, they can come to our house and I will feed them.

Favorite present you are giving this year? [glow=red,2,300][/glow] The Lightning McQueen laptop that Santa is giving DS. I can't wait to see him open it!!! (of course, I'm ashamed to say that I'm still not done shopping, so this answer may change)

Favorite thing to eat? [glow=red,2,300][/glow] homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast! I'm thinking about doing caramel pecan ones this year, but I don't think anyone else will eat them, and I really would like to be able to fit into my clothes after the holidays...

What are you wearing on Christmas day/eve? [glow=red,2,300][/glow] Christmas Eve I will be sporting a charcoal dress with a red skinny belt that I scored on clearance for $18!! Christmas day, I plan on spending in my pj's as long as humanly possible.

Christmas Eve is usually at my parents' house, but we're not traveling this year, so it'll be spent at home with FI and the dogs.

No church.

Christmas Day is usually at my parents' house, but, again, we're not traveling. My BFF and her BF invited us to his parents' house for dinner. I knew FI would find a way to weasel out of seeing Les Mis.

I basically spend Christmas gorging on cookies and coffee.

Uhhhhhhh, I have no idea what I'm wearing. Most likely jeans, a cute top, and a cardigan. Christmas morning is always spent in my PJs though.

ETA: Favorite present is the firepit I'm giving to FI. He hasn't been shy about dropping major hints about it.

Where do you spend Christmas eve? We go to my parents' house (about an hour away) and spend the night there.

Do you go to church? Nope. We don't go much anymore at all, really.

Where do you spend Christmas day? With DH's family in the city we live in. It was supposed to be at MIL's new house (she's having one built near us), but it's not done yet, so it'll be at DH's grandparents' house again this year.

Favorite present you are giving this year? For my grandpa, we got a nice print of the Wyoming state flag (where he's from) and had it framed. He's 92 and really hard to shop for, so I'm mostly just glad that we found something for him.

Favorite thing to eat? Pumpkin pie and anything MIL or DH's grandma makes.

What are you wearing on Christmas day/eve? No clue. Both family celebrations are very casual, so probably just nicer jeans and a dressy-ish top.
