  4. My favorite holiday memory is when my dad bought my mom a new diamond ring. He was serving as a Marine in the Korean War when they became engaged. The ring my dad gave my mom then was beautiful, but the diamond was small due to economic reasons. So after about 20 Christmases together, he bought her a gorgeous larger diamond. I still have the pictures of her unwrapping it. Pure love.

  5. Great giveaway.... hmmm so many different memories. One of my fondest was when I was wrapping gifts when our first son was about 1 and he started playing on the wrapping paper. I finally just ripped off a big piece and let him play on it! He had a BALL!

  6. Great give away. We live down the street from Disneyland and of course we have season passes. A few years back, 2 days before Christmas, we ran into a super nice family visiting from a neighboring state. We ended up spending the evening with them. Come to find out Dad had passed away a few months prior and his favorite place was Disneyland so they came out to spend there first Christmas with out him at the happiest place on earth. We invited them to Christmas dinner however they declined. The next day (Christmas Eve) we get a call. A couple of them were sick and were in need of a few things. We dropped our usual Christmas eve activities brought them homemade chicken soup as well as a few other things. They allowed us to bring them Christmas breakfast. My husband is a chef he made quiche which is now a tradition for our Christmas breakfast. It was an incredibly spiritual experience that I will never forget. It was a perfect example of what the Holidays are supposed to be about.

  8. My favorite holiday memory was the year I spent it on a resort in Mexico. Christmas Eve was very traditional Mexican with the posada and pinata, the morning was so relaxing to spend on the beach, no stress, no worries, and lobster for lunch. An unforgettable holiday

  14. This little girl is just so gorgeous, and I never get tired of watching her.
    My favorit holiday memory was when I was expecting our 3rd kid, who´s born January 10th., and we had a nice and quiert christmas eve here. We normally didn´t have a Santa here for christmas, but suddenly that night, the doorbell rang about 9:30 that night, and as I was a bit tired, we asked the oldest son to go and open. We both looked at each other, as we didn´t expect anyone and who would go out this time a christmas eve? Suddenly he came in completely pale and just stodded, it´s fuccking Santra outside, and he was totally in chock, he was only 6 years olf ha ha ha. It showed it was our young Au Pair girl, who had got her cousing to come and bring the kids their gifts from her, so it was the year we first met Santa for real, and it is still a very awesome memory.

  17. The cards are beautiful love the images, my favorite holiday memory would be when I was 11 the presents under the xmas tree were just too tempting, so one night when everyone else was curled up in bed I snuck out to that tree to have a little peek at a present, I carefully peeled back the tape so I didn't rip any paper and unwrapped it! To my surprise on xmas I would be receiving a bottle of nail polish! Not quite what I had been hoping for.

  18. I love christmas and have lots of great memories. One of my favourites was the year my grandmother and aunt wasn't going to spend christmas with us, they lived quite far away. But they surprised us on christmas morning and had taken a night train and rung our doorbell at 7 in the morning, we were so surprised and it was a great christmas :)

  29. The first Christmas we were married, my hubby bought me a parrot! I'd never had birds, never wanted a bird and here he gives me a big noisy bird! (He was the one who wanted the parrot) The ironic thing was that the parrot ended up hating him!

  30. My fav holiday memory is getting a real Christmas tree with my parents, coming back home and decorating it while mom made hot chocolate! Usually watched Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation too!

  31. Awesome Hero Arts Holiday set! I love it :)

    My favorite Chritsmas memory is from way back, from times when I believed in Santa Claus. Usually Santa visited us on Christmas Ewe, but this time he hadn't showed up. Finally my parents suggested that we would check out the other end of our house: maybe Santa was too busy to come in and just left the gifts somewhere. I still remember how amazed I was to find gifts in the entry of our door! It was more magical than Santa Claus visiting xD

    ReplyDelete
  32. WOW! What beautiful artwork ladies! You always inspire! My favorite memory is opening presents on Christmas Eve with just my husband and myself and a roaring fire!

  34. Coming from an asian country, I had never had a white Christmas. I had my first white Christmas, my first real Christmas tree last year when we moved to the States. It was also a sight to see all the beautiful decorated houses along the streets. This is my favorite holiday memory...

  35. I always looked forward to going to get a tree, being all cold while hunting for the perfect one and having hot cocoa with marshmallows and shortbread cookies once we got home.

  37. Great Magnolia creations!
    My favorite holiday memory is going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Story. It's a rock opera that has a Christmas themed story. I first was exposed to it on a PBS special broadcast, and was absolutely enthralled with it. I have gotten to see it in person three times so far, and I just bought tickets to see it again this year. Can't recommend it highly enough. Very touching story, great music and presentation!

  46. I just became a follower of your blog and want to say Thanks for the chance to win some HA Stamps. My most enjoyable Christmas memory was staying up with my older sister to wait for Santa. Now we knew Christmas was about Baby Jesus, but Santa did bring the gifts right. Lol. So both my sis and I would stay up alnight (once Mom & Dad were in bed) and sneek down stairs and cuddle up in a blanket on the couch. We would each take turns watching for the guy in red. We would watch Christmas shows on the tube and only one of us could go to sleep while the other kepted watch. Funny thing is, we never did catch him putting goodies under our tree. Thanks for the memories.

  47. I pop into your blog everyday so I assume that makes me a follower of your blog. Is there any other way since I don't have a blog myself? Not very computer literate in this sense. Anyway I loved those Magnolia Tilda cards. Favourite memory is when I was younger at home (Mum and Dad still together) and my family went to Gran and Grandpa's house with all the other relatives.

  48. Oh, I just LOVE that beautiful Hero Arts set. So perfect for the holidays!! My fave holiday memory is when I was a child--waking up on Christmas morning to open my stocking and finding a donut inside so I could nibble on something while opening presents without having to stop the present action to eat breakfast!

  61. My favorite holiday memory is from living in Montreal (HEAVY SNOW) and Santa coming through the back door on Christmas Eve to give my brother and me our presents. This was in the midst of our Christmas Eve dinner/family gathering. My poor uncle always seemed to disappear during this time...it's such a shame he missed Santa! ;)

  63. So many manufactures are there with their desktop offerings. Different manufacturer means different features and specifications, and RightShopping.in bring it all under a single link. In terms of designs, software applications, hardware designs, and a stunning finishing touch, really the stuffs that www.rightshopping.in/g/it.asp?C=Computers-India&cid=21 are something with a difference.
