Would I mind if I received a house for Christmas? Psh! Is the sky blue? That’s a dream that would be a total miracle for my family and myself! Yes, I’ve dreamed of something like this before, many times. It wouldn’t have to be a Christmas gift though; I would welcome it at any time!

I don’t know anyone who would do this for me. My husband and I have been struggling for 30 years to have some kind of stability. We have four children who are all basically grown now, and we have four grandchildren.

Christmas is one of my favorite times of year, I go all out in decorating, in fact I am starting to get the decorations out already for this year.

I have three Christmas trees in my house, one in the dining room, one for the keeping room and one for the family room. Our family room tree is decorated with ornaments that we get for the children and ornaments that they make.

Every year I purchase each of them an ornament from Hallmark and one that relates to a passion of theirs from that year. In addition the in-laws give them each a name ornament for the year.

The family room tree is truly our family tree. Our family room is decorated by the entire family we have child friendly decorations in the room, a train that circles the tree, stockings for each family member; the mantel is decorated with candles and snow men. Read More »

Last year was my first Christmas in our new home. I always had a beautiful tree in our rental house so now with my gorgeous fireplace and open floor plan, I just knew my tree would look great.

I lugged the platform for the tree in from the shed in the freezing cold on Black Friday. Sure I had been up since 5 for all the shopping deals but I always put my tree up then. I tried three different places for the tree.

But my nice tree was so small in my new huge living room. I called my sister frantically. She lives 10 minutes away and said I could have her extra tree! Off I went. Her tree was a gorgeous artificial Spruce. It was so full and over 7 feet tall. Read More »

I would love to have a house for a Christmas gift. It would be much better than the broken down old trailer I live in. Yes, there are poor people in America and I happen to be one of them.

I suppose the crew of Extreme Makeover Home Edition or Habitat for Humanity would be the likely builder of this home as our relative who do have money would never be convinced to make such a gift as they keep their money for themselves.

I would be happy with a nice three or four bedroom home with an actual basement. It should also have a living room and separate kitchen/dining area which comes standard with most homes.

However, if I could convince someone to build me a nice house it would have a brick or stone appearance with at least one tower like a Victorian home. Read More »

If I were to ever get a house as a gift, it would probably have to be from some random stranger. No one in my family who has the money to gift a house wants to part with their money.

I’ve never dreamed of getting a house as a present, because I never thought it would ever happen. I have always wanted a very large house, on acreage and in the country (but not too far from civilization).

My dream house is multilevel with plenty of large rooms, an indoor swimming pool and a room made to be a library.

If I were to be gifted a house, any house would be great. Read More »
