Where are you spending your holiday? At home. We host Christmas Dinner at our house for my family and H's family so that we don't have to card DS all over the planet. I'd rather let him stay home and play with his new toys.
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? I suppose nothing. What I really want simply isn't an option. I'd really like to just hit the road and hole up in a cabin somewhere.
What do you like to get in your stocking? Every year for as long as I can remember I've gotten a tube of bubble gum flavored chapstick in my stocking. I rarely use it, but it's always there. The last couple of years, I've bought it myself just so I could have it.
What is your favorite holiday treat? Highly alcoholic, homemade eggnog. It's so incredibly bad for you, but I have to make a batch at least once a year.
I'm spending my holiday at home with FI. Neither one of us has a ton of vacation time saved up. My parents will be here in a couple of weekends for Thanksmas. And wedding dress shopping.
I need work clothes. A new robe would be nice too.
I like to get lotto scratch-offs in my stocking, and random jokey things.
Where are you spending your holiday? At my aunts' in NY. We're going a bit nuts with the planning, haha.
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? Nothing really. We just pre-ordered the new Kindle Fire for videos on the drive, so that's pretty well covered, heh.
What do you like to get in your stocking? I always put in small bottles of alcohol, a toothbrush, candy canes, and an orange. I also tend to get small fun toiletry items (lip gloss & stuff), and then pack the rest of it with mini snickers.
What is your favorite holiday treat? Not gross German cookies. lol.
I do this too! Santa brings some candy, and treats, and a HUGE apple and an equally large orange for each person in the house. My parents did this with us every year, and now I do it with DS too.

Where are you spending your holiday? We are staying local and my mom and stepdad are going to be in the area the whole month of December. Xmas Eve and Xmas morning will just be the three (four?) of us at home. Xmas Day will probably be a big family dinner at my mom's place, assuming I do not launch my thermonuclear family war offensive.
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? Hm, not much. I would like an iPhone 4 and maybe some new cookware.
What do you like to get in your stocking? Candy! Especially those cheap foil-wrapped sandy-chocolate Santas. Both H and I got tangerines in our stockings as kids and so we always slip one into each other's as a joke to piss us off because it's funny. This year I plan to do the same to Baby Fuss, only he likes tangerines and doesn't like chocolate, so I can't see it being as much fun as antagonizing H.
What is your favorite holiday treat? Chocolate!!!!!! And Christmas cookies (made by other people, of course).
Where are you spending your holiday? splitting the hoildays all over town, most likely. A Christmas party with my side of the family a week before xmas, xmas morning at home with DH and my mom, Xmas eve with his side and my dad. The usual. We did get to stay home in our PJs for Tgiving though.
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? I only had one thing on my list yurbuds ear buds in tiffany blue. But I had to make a list for my dad and I found an awesome gym bag that I hope I get.
What do you like to get in your stocking? anything. Stockings are the best part. Reeses trees, cute pens, my husband once got me a cupcake corer (for putting filling cupcakes) that was fun.
Where are you spending your holiday? Christmas Eve with my parents and brother at my parent's house and Christmas Day at one of my aunt's.
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? Nothing, really.
What do you like to get in your stocking? Well, last year I got my engagement ring in my stocking, so it's hard to beat that. I like getting little odds and ends like shower gel, a bracelet, maybe a gift card. Also, York Mint Patties and Junior Mints (I get those every year).
What is your favorite holiday treat? Glog. It's a warm Danish drink made with red wine, brandy and spices (with almonds and raisins that soak up the alcohol...yum!). We only make it this time of year. It's a family recipe that my great grandpa used to make. It gives me the warm fuzzies

Where are you spending your holiday? Christmas Eve is with the ILs, Christmas is at home (maybe with my family? IDK. Last year, my family came over for Christmas, but now my mom doesn't want to? H and I don't want to travel on Christmas, so maybe we will visit them another day if they decide not to come over).
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? Entire set of Star Wars. It's already hidden in my H's dresser drawer, lol
What do you like to get in your stocking? Anything! I love stockings and all the little knick knacks.
What is your favorite holiday treat? Gingerbread men.

Where are you spending your holiday? We're getting together with my family on Christmas Eve morning and will probably end up at the ILs Christmas party that night. This year, for the first time ever, we may be able to just stay home and relax completely on Christmas.
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? My list is sad. There is so little
What do you like to get in your stocking? Everything. Stockings are my favorite part. Give me a pile of randomness and I'm a happy camper
What is your favorite holiday treat? Christmas Cookies
Where are you spending your holiday? At our house. We're taking the morning to ourselves, inviting my mom, step-dad and younger siblings for lunch and the ILs will probably stop over sometime in the early evening.
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? I'm not really coveting anything this year. I'm making it really easy for H since he bombed Christmas last year. Walked into a few stores, showed him the exact items and sizes. Dog-eared some pages in a tea catalog and circled the items and handed it to him. Took pics of some other stuff and send them to his phone.
What do you like to get in your stocking? Burt's Bees chapstick, hair ties, pens, CDs.

We'll be staying home for Christmas. If we visit anywhere, it would be to go to the IL's an hour away.
I'd better the getting a laptop for Christmas. Please, please, please H, buy me a damn new laptop already. I don't know what else he would get me, but for real, if its not a new computer I'm going to be kinda pissed. Mine is so old and now half the keys don't work. It's a doorstop at this point.
Stocking - I like surprises. Nothing big, just little fun stockingy things.
Is champagne a treat? Cause that's what I'm looking forward to. Oh, and molasses cookies.
Where are you spending your holiday? Haven't tackled this question yet. Probably here because of Scotty's illness.
What are you coveting for Chrismakkah this year? Nothing really. I did ask my parents for a dress that I love, but wouldn't buy on my own. I wouldn't mind a self-winding or solar watch, but there's really not much I specifically want. I think this year's been so tough that I'm just not excited for Christmas.
What do you like to get in your stocking? I almost never get anything in my stocking anymore. I've gotten cute travel-related things in the past and I like that, or little toiletries.
What is your favorite holiday treat? My grandma's cookies, especially her biscotti (especially when made with pecans, not walnuts).
