[cmeon]

What is your craft of choice?I knit, sew, crochet, and most recently, make a lot of sawdust. I seriously have loved every ornament I've seen in the past two years of this.

What is your favorite color?I am seriously on a rainbow kick lately- but, I've always answered "blue" to this question, and it stands.

Do you have any kids or pets?5yo boy, 3yo girl, 5 old fart wiener dogs, 4 gerbils, one very sweet husband.

Do you collect anything or have a favorite sports team?Dogs and gerbils, but, only live ones. DH is nuts about his Cleveland Browns, so, I love them by proxy. Sucks that they suck.

Describe your Holiday decorating scheme (over-the-top, kid-friendly, retro, glitter-filled, whatever)All of the above! Somewhere between eclectic and big-fat-mess.

Favorite Holiday memory?My first year with my now-husband. I spent three weeks in December at his house in Ohio (I live in FL). It snowed a lot, I met all his family, crashed his cousin's wedding, froze my tail off, spent entire days in bed, ate awesome food, went to parties full of people I didn't know- ah. Life before kids. I won't lie, Christmas with them is pretty awesome, too- just in a very different way.

[chuicafina]

What is your craft of choice? I sew, and am learning how to knit.

Describe your Holiday decorating scheme (over-the-top, kid-friendly, retro, glitter-filled, whatever) The tree is eclectic. Everything else is pretty simple. White lights, pine cones, holly.

Favorite Holiday memory? Reading The Grinch Stole Christmas on my grandfather's lap on Christmas Eve. He passed a few years ago, but my grandma gave my son a copy of the book for his first Christmas. Hopefully my dad will carry on the tradition.

[glitterfart]

What is your craft of choice? Right now it´s sewing. But I also enjoy some paper crafts, or really just about any kind of crafting.

What is your favorite color? Blue and Red.

Do you have any kids or pets? I have a 2yo DD and an almost 4yo collie mix.

Do you collect anything or have a favorite sports team?No favorite sports teams, and I don´t really collect things anymore, but I used to collect teacups and teapots. But I´ve run out of space.

Describe your Holiday decorating scheme (over-the-top, kid-friendly, retro, glitter-filled, whatever) Fairly classic. We have white lights on the tree, and usually red, green and gold ornaments. Though last year the tree was red and white with all non-breakable ornaments. And I love Holly, so lots of holly themed stuff.

Favorite Holiday memory? I´m having a brain fart, and can´t think of one right now.

Describe your Holiday decorating scheme (over-the-top, kid-friendly, retro, glitter-filled, whatever). Traditional and classic. Our tree is mix of ornaments from when I was growing up and what we have collected since getting married. Growing up my nana and mom always gifted ornaments to me and my sister to have as adults, and H and I travel a bit and always get an ornament from each place we visit together.

[reinedumonde]

Describe your Holiday decorating scheme (over-the-top, kid-friendly, retro, glitter-filled, whatever) Pretty traditional. Lots of stars, Santas, angels, that sort of thing. We're not into wacky colors, but certainly wouldn't turn down something shiny.

What is your favorite color? blue

Do you have any kids or pets? 2 dogs, 1 cat (+ all the animals at the shelters I volunteer with)

Do you collect anything or have a favorite sports team? I like owl stuff. . I think that's my only real "collection" but it's small. I have a ton of snow globes too but they're not themed, some are xmas and some are travel. It rarely snows here so they're my only real hope for a white xmas.

Describe your Holiday decorating scheme (over-the-top, kid-friendly, retro, glitter-filled, whatever) - Im' going to say eccentric with a hawaiian undertone. lol. I decorate with stuff that I like & that ranges from glitter bombs to "nailed it" type stuff. The lower 1/3 of my tree stays naked b/c my dogs like to eat ornaments.

Favorite Holiday memory? DH & I didn't have the money for a proper tree one year and so we decorated a potted plant (some kind of palm-ish spindly pathetic little thing) and when we opened our presents we listened to hawaiian xmas music. Now we always have hawaiian music on when we open presents. I made him a hawaiian themed stocking last year & my favorite snow globe is hawaiian santa in a blizzard.

Do you collect anything or have a favorite sports team? I have collected flamingos in the past, but there are enough on my tree already.

Describe your Holiday decorating scheme (over-the-top, kid-friendly, retro, glitter-filled, whatever) I've chosen an ornament every year since my first at age 2. I favored cats and flamingos for many years, so the tree is a little heavy in that. Hallmark ornaments, handmade ornaments, antique glass ornaments, felt garlands, and colored lights all on a tree that often grows dramatically on the drive into town from where we cut it down in the forest.
