AND I actually thought the questions were fun, sooo...

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

• Black clogs that have thick rubber soles and can be comfortable but nice enough to wear to work. Something like this or maybe this or go for really fun, not as practical with this or this or this! or this ... OK, I'll just go make a shoe wish list on Amazon.
  

• A new charger for my camera so I can finally use it again!
  

• Music to work out to on my IPOD or clothes to work out in.
  

• Next semester's textbooks paid for. (pretty boring, right?)
  

• Target Gift Card (that's kind of a wish for more wishes stunt)
  

Can I add a dream list?

• Iphone

• A Job lined up for when I graduate in May?!! that I enjoy, has flexible hours, and benefits. Too much to ask?

• Kindle

• My own house

• Furniture
  

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

• Probably Aunt Joan's origami money creations that I look forward to getting every year! In the past I've received a money picture frame, jewelry, mobile of cranes, and much much more awesome origami.
  

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

• Maybe to sew or embroider something for my mom or sisters. Last year I made them all purple beaded necklaces! Mom's the only one who wears hers, though.
  

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

• Hmm, hard to pick just one. The year that grandpa got us a trampoline was pretty exciting. The little boom box I got at age 11 pretty much rocked my world for years until someone broke into our house and stole it. But then insurance gave us money to replace it so I got an even bigger stereo that I still have/use today!
  

5. What items are top on your kids’ wish list this year?

• Probably anything princess (suppressing gag).
  

• Art supplies

• A Dollhouse with little toy people or animals to play in it!
  

Eliza is SUCH a thankful child. Lots of times when I hand something to her, be it a sippy cup, her rain coat, a stuffed animal, or some food, she says so enthusiastically, "Mommy you got this for me? From the store? Oh, THANK YOU, MOMMY!" It's soo cute and sweet.

Then she goes around and tells everyone, "My mommy got me a new [raincoat]!" even though she's had it for months already. So maybe I'll wrap a beanie baby that we already own, and I bet she'll still be excited! (I'm on a tight budget, ok?)

Eliza also pretends to give people and her toys imaginary presents and has me act out that they unwrap them and are so excited to see that they got an imaginary flower, some fruit, a toy, a sticker, a toothbrush, or some other random object that Eliza has an affinity for.

6. What is your favorite holiday food?

• Peppermint Ice Cream or Chic-fil-a's peppermint chocolate chip shake. YUM!

• Mom's Christmas wreath cookies and gingerbread cookies.

• Our shepherd's meal on Christmas eve where we eat what the shepherds might have eaten before they saw the star... homemade bread, cheese, dried fruit, grape juice, nuts, and some fresh fruit. We all sit down and eat it picnic style by the fireplace and read the nativity story.
  

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

• A new fabric quiet book for Eliza for church! We already have two that Mom and I made for Abby back in the day, and Eliza loves 'em! but they've lost some of their pieces.
  

• I have some other things in the works, but mums the word!
  

8. Favorite holiday songs:

• Winter Song by Sarah Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson
  

• Straight-up hymns
  

• MoTab carols

• Some classical music that I don't feel like talking about.
  

9. Favorite holiday pastime?

• Sleeping
• Eating
  
• Playing games with my family!
• Baking with my mom.
• This year, studying for my MSW licensure exam that's in February!
