I love to decorating the house for Christmas. I love the season, and decorating the house really puts me in the holiday spirit. I use a combination of traditional and modern Christmas decorations.

I love to use pretty green pine garlands on the banister. I have several decorations that I take out and put on surfaces all over the house, such as a contemporary metal Santa and tree.

I have sparkly stars that I like to drape around objects on the walls or underneath the mantle – I vary it each year. I bring out a beautiful crystal bowl that I use once a year for just this purpose: I get fancy glass ornaments and put 3-4 in the bowl, which I use it as a centerpiece on our dining room table. It looks very pretty. Read More »

The week before Last Christmas I came home telling my husband I wanted just ONE thing for Christmas, but I totally did not expect it, I wanted tickets to go see George Strait.

I looked at the venue and it was sold out, there were no 2 seats together, but my husband found a couple single seats available.

He got me a Ticket to see George Strait in Concert, but I didn’t realize it because he had put the ticket folded up in a CD book that he gave me. Read More »

I am a Twenty seven year old married female. This past Christmas was a simple Christmas for us so I remember the holiday fondly.

Usually I am budget wise around the later part of the year with my finances so I can splurge on presents when it comes to giving gifts and I stubbornly hope for the same return although only wishing and never expecting or envying.

This past Christmas I received a sterling silver diamond circle pendant from Zales.

I like it because it was actually wrapped and he picked it out himself for once. Usually if I get a gift and the price tag is NOT on it or it has been wrapped I know this gift was not personally picked from my husband. Read More »

I am a 25 year old female. My favorite gift I got last year was a Nintendo Wii from my husband. It is what I had been asking for since the Wii hit the market and we had such a hard time finding one for the last year or so I never expected to get one on Christmas morning.

I know my husband worked hard to be able to find one. It was a great surprise. It always nice to get something you have been wanting and especially when it is a surprise. I love the Nintendo Wii.

For one thing it is something our whole family can use together and we have had a lot of fun with it. We have 3 children ages 2, 5 and 6 and even the youngest one can swing the remote around and pretend like she is playing and in some of the easier games she can actually get an idea of how to play.

I need a house for my 6 children. If I was given a house for Christmas from my husband, I would want at least 4 bedrooms or more.

A nice size backyard.

Wood floors throughout, nice size windows with high ceilings. I would like a kid friendly home. With a family room.

I would prefer the California area. That is family friendly.That would be great. Read More »

I got a beautiful gold and diamond watch last Christmas from my husband. It was our first Christmas together since we got married and our daughter was born. He took a friend with him to help pick it out. It has hearts on it to match the Valentines and wedding gifts that he bought for me. Read More »

The Christmas after my ex husband and I split up I decided I was going to buy all new Christmas decorations. A new tree and everything.

I had previously just used what people had given me so it was not coordinated in way. I decided I was going to do blue because it was my first Christmas alone essentially and being an Elvis fan the song Blue Christmas was on my mind. Read More »
