Watching the Aristocats with my babies. I forgot how cute the movie is! They are really liking it too with all the fun music and talking animals, what toddler wouldn't? I've spent a lot of today tidying up everything. Cant wait to set out all the gifts tonight! Christmas magic is in the air! If your family will be waiting for Santa to visit tonight, be sure to download the NORAD Santa tracker app! You can see just where Santa is(and maybe use it to talk the anxious kids into getting to bed!). Even though my two arent old enough to understand the whole Santa thing, I put it on my phone for the fun of it!
Ive been pinteresting today. I was hoping to make a yummy breakfast tomorrow. Something simple of course, as we will be leaving as soon as we finish opening gifts. I also dont want it to be terribly messy, a bathtub stop would take too long when trying to leave. I was thinking maybe one of those egg casseroles or something. Is anyone making something festive and fun in the morning? If you are going to post about it please link me! I love seeing pictures of things like that! Last night Lorelai and I were looking at the pictures in the articles Yahoo posted of festive Christmas cookies. There was little snowmans and santas. She giggled at every picture. So definetly let me know where I can find pictures of your festive creations! I'll grab Lorelai for look at it! That little girl has the best little sense of humor.
So since I'm here I might as well answer another Christmas question, eh?
Can you name Santa's reindeer?
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen..and of course Rudolph. Have you guys read the story they put out? Apparently Rudolph is a girl. They say male reindeer lose their antlers in winter but females keep theirs. So Santa's sleigh is being led by a female...yay girl power!
When Santa gets to your house, does he have a chimney or does he have to use the front door?
Well we do have a fireplace but we place our entertainment center in front of it. When we moved into this apartment, Finn was tiny and I was very pregnant with Lorelai. I knew it would be a while before I would be able to pull him out of it every 5 minutes. Especially while I had him and a newborn to care for. So we have it blocked for now. We may rearrange one of these days. I dont see it though, my husband has everything wired to that area. So Santa probably has to use the front door.
Do you read a special book Christmas Eve night?
We read Texas Night Before Christmas. Same basic story with a fun Texas twist. I have had the book since I was a child. The one I have has beautiful illustrations and I love it.
Do you like eggnong or hot chocolate?
I love them both! I love hot chocolate a lot but seeing as how I can get it anytime, I usually take full advantage of eggnog season. It should pretty much have its own budget during December.
Do you like colored or white lights?
While I see so many beautiful yards lit up in white, I love the color lights. Its what I prefer in my own house and just normal for me. I love all things bright and colorful, always. So definetly colored lights for the win!
When do you put your Christmas decorations up?
First weekend of December. I have friends that put them up way early this year, like before Thanksgiving week. Thats fine but I like my Thanksgiving and Christmas time separate. They are two different celebrations with different meanings. I like to be able to focus on each one. Of course, that doesn't mean I give up black friday shopping for Christmas..haha
The kids were playing nicely together, so I thought Id answer a few..now there is a suspicious stinkiness in the room. So I have to go find out who has brownies in the oven.
