Head on over and join in the fun. Joyce is waiting for you....
1. Share your Christmas Eve traditions.
We use to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve growing up. Moving to California away from family 21 years ago was a big change however I did have my Aunt & Uncle out here and we would go over to their house on Christmas Eve. Since they are now gone my husband and I are usually home alone. I will attend a service at church and watch It's a Wonderful Life. The kids will be celebrating with their significant others family. (this is crazy but we would go to church on Christmas Eve, when we got home from church if the Christmas tree was lit in the window it meant Santa came!)
2. What was the best book you read in 2010? (we're not going to include The Bible here)
I can't say that I actually completed any this year but I bought several! I will try harder in 2011!
3. Do you have pets and if so do you allow them on the furniture?
Yes we have our Cairn Terrier Skye and she is allowed on the furniture and in our bed.
4. What event from 2010 are you most thankful for?
I am thankful that my Dad, when taken ill in June, was able to have a pace maker put in at 87 and is still going strong. I love him more then I can express in words. We are best buds!
5. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before.
Let my kids drive my car up to Mammoth Lakes !!!!! Also I just recently drove my husbands SUV, he has had it for 2 1/2 years. (the size just scared me, I like my Mini Cooper)
6. Brussels sprouts...friend or foe?
I think friend but I never buy them.
7. Who would you nominate for man/woman of the year?
Me!
8. Insert your own random thought here.
I keep promising Christmas pictures of the house/tree and I will keep that promise tomorrow so please come back over.
Thinking we may need these soon here in California!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

I loved #4. My dad is also 87 and in remarkably good health. I hope I'm as healthy and independent as he is when I'm 87. ;-)
I look forward to seeing your pictures of your house & tree.
Enjoy these last few days leading up to Christmas.
Oh, how wonderful that your Dad is 87. Mine is 81 and I'm just like you, he is my Best Bud! I can't imagine what my life will be like without him.
Blessings to you for a wonderful Christmas!
Church and "It's a Wonderful Life", sounds blissful! Enjoy.

Merry Christmas Debby!!!
So glad that your Dad is doing good.
Great answers!
My favorite is #5
Your Noah's Ark ornaments are so cute! I imagine it's taken you awhile to collect them.
Merry Christmas!
Wow - a Mini Cooper to an SUV is a big jump!
#7 cracked me up!
Everytime I come to your blog, the picture of your dog, Skye catches my eye. I love it.
Merry Christmas!
I'm thinking you are right on about needing an ark. Seems that nether of us did much reading in 2010.
I'd like to know more about Skye. I had not heard of that breed until yesterday. Let's talk.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! May 2011 be your best year ever.
Blessings, SusanD
Have a very Merry Christmas. I enjoyed your answers. Kathy

we have PUP our huge, sweet, smartest dog in the world and he thinks he is the size of our miniture weenie dog and sprawls out on the couch.
Our MADDIE (weenie dog) is the princess and sleeps with us and often when we wake up in the morning she is in between my david and I on her back with her little legs up and back of head on a pillow like she is human, it is the funnest thing you would see, its precious.

That you still have your daddy and he knows who you are. my daddy I still have and also love him with all my heart and sould but he has no clue who I am.

7. Who would you nominate for man/woman of the year? Jesus for his Love and Salvation!

I cant stand Christmas music, weird hu, I just cant.
I love that you would vote you as the best man/woman of the year. Yeahhhh.
Oh those ornaments are beautiful!! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!
I just knew Skye ruled your house...LOL. You are the Woman of the Year and as my granddaughter said when younger "I can't like those brussel sprouts!"
Merry Christmas!
Christmas Eve was always the day my relatives would get together growing up, too. Those were my favorite memories. Since we don't live near family we always try to have friends over now on Christmas Eve so my daughter can have a similar experience. And that way she can stay home all day on Christmas Day and play :)
Merry Christmas, Debby!
P.S. Glad to hear your dad is doing well.
I am so like you in a way.. I have read I think a few books here and there but so need to get better at it.. My two babies which are dogs get on the furniture and I just vac when I can. I love them and they know it.. I am glad you got to spend time with your Dad and I hope you get to go again.. The car thing made me laugh for sure.. As I said on another post I saw this on. Brussels sprouts are not my friend and will never be sorry.. You do need to be nominated you are an amazing woman who does a lot for others.. I will be back to see more pictures.. Have a great night..
We've always celebrated christmas on the 24th in my family (well the gift opening and such, in the evening) - then the 25th is for family, friends and food and parties :-)
I dream of owning a 4-door mini-cooper!! ah!
Happy Holidays to you and yours, my dear!
I love that as I read this I could guess some of your answers- or at least nod remembering reading about them in other posts! As always- fun read! Can't wait to see more pics soon!
Hugs-

I love all your Noah's Ark ornaments...you could do a whole Noah Tree and add animal ornaments to go with : )
Have a wonderful Christmas!
