10 Days to Christmas Challenge- Day 5


Day 5- Family Christmas Traditions
Everyone except my immediate family lives in New York (where I grew up) so we spend Christmas day there, either at my Grandma's or one of my Aunts or Uncles. I  think it would feel weird if we stayed home on Christmas since that's what we've been doing forever. At one point it will obviously change but I like it this way for now. Another tradition was when me and my brother were younger my parents took us to the Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall every year and we would spend the day in the city shopping, walking around and looking at the tree. That was always fun, it's so pretty there around this time.

Do you have any special traditions?

10 Days to Christmas Challenge- Day 6


Day 6- What your tree looks like
We've had a fake tree for the past 3 years, we tried the whole real thing and I guess it got too annoying. Besides that we have tons of ornaments. We have the regular red, green and gold ones and the fancy ones. Then we have all the special made ones that I love. When I was in pre-school we made an ornament out of a tuna fish can then put gold garland all around it and then there is a picture of me and my teacher. My brother also has one too so its so funny to see them on the tree every year. We have white lights with an angel on top, oh and I just hung candy canes around the tree. It's very pretty and I can't believe we're gonna have to take it down soon because it feels like we just put it up!

What does your Christmas tree look like?

My favorite Christmas scent has to be the smell of pine cones.  As soon as I smell them it reminds me of Christmas.

10 Days to Christmas Challenge- Day 9


Day 9- Your Earliest Christmas Memory
I'm not sure how old I was but I had to be at least 5 because I believed in Santa Clause. I remember leaving a note with milk and cookies to Santa with my little brother on Christmas Eve. Then I would wake up around 4am, sneak out to see if Santa actually came. I would always see the cookies and milk eaten (by my parents) and all the presents under the tree. I remember being so excited that I would wake up my brother and parents. We ended up opening presents no later than 6am. I love Christmas as an adult but loved it even more as a kid.

10 Days To Christmas Challenge- Day 10

I absolutely love the Christmas season ever since I can remember. I wanted to do a 25 Day Christmas Challenge but I missed that, so I decided to do a Countdown till Christmas challenge instead. Feel free to join in if you want :) I picked the questions from the other challenges on the Internet.


Day 10- Five Favorite Christmas Songs: 
I actually really like Christmas music.  It reminds me of all the previous years since I was a kid.  I picked the first five songs that came to mind.  (in no particular order)

1. Happy Christmas - John Lennon
2. All I Want for Christmas Is You- Mariah Carey
3. Santa Claus is Coming to Town- Bruce Springsteen 
4. Silent Night- Stevie Nicks
5. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause- The Jackson Five

Do you have any favorite Christmas songs?  Also, let me know if you do this challenge. I would love to read your answers :)
