A fun holiday poll to get the board going

Lets share our favorite holiday memories! Christmas, Fourth of July, whatever your fav. holiday memory may be.

I've got two fav. holiday memories. My first is going over to my Nana's to make cut out cookies. Every year we get board while icing the cookies and come up with some 'unique' cookies. Last years top pick was my bros gf at the time broke a roudolf (sp?) and made what looked like a mounted dear head with another cut out cookie. It was priceless.

My second fav. memory was the year I got a plane ticket for christmas. My BFF moved to Florida when we were in 5th grade. Every year we saved up our babysitting money and either she would fly to OH or I would fly to FL. Well one year while we were in high school it was looking like I wasn't going to be able to head to FL and she wasn't going to be able to come to OH. Low and behold on Christmas morning there was a plane ticket in the Christmas tree. I cried, made my mom cry and was soooo excited! haha That has got to be the best gift I've recieved.

  • Well then. I guess no one's in the mood for a Holiday poll today. I guess it might be a bit early considering its not even Thanksgiving yet.

  • I have a memory...Not that is a good one!  but a memory!  haha

    One year my brother and I decided to look at our Christmas gifts while my parents went to a party.  Well they found out and threatened to take everything back!  We were so sad.  Well they didn't take anything back and we got to open our gifts even tho we already knew what we got.  What made it so special...And I didn't find this out until 1 year ago is that my grandma provided all the gifts that year.  My dad had lost his job and she bought us our gifts.  That was so special and a Christmas I'll never forget!

  • My favorite holiday memories are going to my grandma's house on Christmas Eve like we have always done and Santa coming to the house every year to give us a small gift and a candy cane! There were 6 of us grandkids who were all pretty young and I guess my grandma would pay a neighbor or someone to dress up as Santa and come to the house to hand out the gifts/candy. We would be SO excited! I don't think I know who that was who would come as santa, I should probably ask that question!!

    Another favorite memory is when my other grandma made thanksgiving dinner for us and burnt the turkey... it is the funniest memory that I have!

    6/28/10: Lost our sweet baby Addyston at 18wk 1day to pPROM 7/24/11: Michael William born at 24wk 2d due to IC after an emergent cerclage at 18wks, 4wk home BR and 2 weeks hospital BR. Grow strong our little Miracle! 9/17/11: Michael joined his sister in heaven after 8 amazing weeks with us on earth. He fought a very hard fight but NEC was too much for him in the end.

  • My best christmas was christmas 2007 - we had recently gotten our BFP but no one else knew about it. We spent the 23rd and 24th in NYC, just the two of us, doing all of the cliche touristy holiday stuff - the Saks windows, visit to Macy's, Rockefeller Center tree, etc. We ate an awesome dinner at one of Bobby Flay's restaurants and stayed in a posh hotel room.

  • My favorite Christmas was when DH proposed to me very late on Christmas Eve. We were glowing all day on Christmas day and then we flew off the next day to Washingtom D.C. to soak up the holiday atmosphere in a city neither of us had ever been. It was a magical few days. I'll never forget how I felt during that time.
