Mama's Holiday Wish List

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme
TodaysMama (link to: http://bit.ly/tmwishlist) and GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What is your holiday wish for your family?
My honest wish is for B to get a job that pays the bills. This last year has been hard with him losing his job and (thankfully) getting a new one that doesn't pay enough for us and the boys.

2. What is your Christmas morning / Hanukkah Nightly tradition?
Well, we are just getting into the tradition end of things with our little ones (K, our oldest, is just 3) but we wait for Grandma to come to the house, then we read the Christmas story and let the little ones loose!

3. If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be?
Hmmm...I think I would ask for a Shelby Mustang. I'm a car girl and have always loved the Shelby. Even though I wasn't born yet, I still haven't forgiven my dad for selling his. I'm sure that even in the womb I was horrified when he did that!

4. How do you make the holidays special without spending any money?
We have a tradition that every year we perform acts of service as a Christmas gift for my mom. It makes us focus on the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place and is the thing that we remember about the holidays.

5. What games did you play with your family growing up?
My family wasn't a big gaming family. The only one I remember us even trying was Chutes and Ladders. Games just didn't work for us. But once I married B (who comes from a big gaming family) our favorite games have been Settlers of Cataan, Ticket to Ride, and anything Mario related!

6. What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood?
We always opened one present on Christmas Eve. It was always pajamas. Even though we knew what it was going to be, it was still exciting to open that gift.

7. Where would you go for a Christmas/Hanukkah-away-from-home trip?
Hmmm...that's hard. I like being home for Christmas. I suppose that if we were to go somewhere, I would pick a warm cabin in the mountains with all of our favorite people.

8. Check out GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) and tell us, what are the three top items on your GameStop Wish List this year?

Definitely Active 2 for the Wii, Xbox 360 with Kinect, and Sesame Street: Elmo's A-to-Zoo Adventure (Always got to keep the 3 year old in mind).
