Really Cool Holiday Contest

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme TodaysMama and Provo Craft are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What 5 items are on your holiday wish list this year?

• My kids and husband to have a happy Christmas
  
• A second car (I can dream, right?)
  
• Le Creuset Dutch Oven
• A fully functioning computer (I've had my computer almost as long as we've been married)
• A trip to Utah/Colorado to see my family and friends
  

2. What is your favorite handmade gift you have received?

• I swore I'd never like them (I used to think they were tacky), but I LOVE the photo ornaments that The Princess has given to me.
  

3. What handmade gift have you always wanted to tackle?

• I'd love to learn how to knit to make super cute chunky baby hats and blankets.
  

4. What was the best Christmas gift you received as a child?

• My hamster - until I killed it by starving it to death (long story, but it wasn't intentional starvation, I promise!!).
  

5. What items are on your kid’s wish list this year?

• Art Supplies
• Camera
• Every random item that she sees on tv or in the store
• The new Tinkerbell movie
• Sparky is really too young to care about Christmas - she'll be happy playing with wrapping paper and empty boxes
• They both need new jammies but I doubt that's on either of their wish lists :)
  

6. What is your favorite holiday food?

• Sandwiches made from leftover turkey and cranberry sauce. Or maybe caramel apple cider or salted caramel hot chocolate. Or stuffed mushrooms! Who am I kidding? I love all of it! Oh, and homemade English Toffee!! (As long as it's nice and crunchy).
  

7. What will you be hand-crafting for the holidays?

• I'm trying to get up the gumption to bake gifts for friends and neighbors this year. Not sure how many people will even be in town if I bother, though so it's still up for debate.
  

8. What is your favorite holiday movie?

• The Holiday
  

9. Favorite holiday song?

• I have way too many favorites to list. Anything by Trans-Siberian Orchestra (especially live!!). I don't know what my favorite traditional carol is, though, because I love them all - I miss choir solely for the Christmas music!
  

10. Favorite holiday pastime?

• I used to love going to Temple Square and going out for hot chocolate afterward. We're still working on creating new traditions as a smaller family - suggestions are welcome! As of right now, we enjoy decorating the tree together.
