Hello, and welcome to my stop on the Christmas Wishes Hop! So, I was thinking about what I wanted to write about since I've been writing all about my Chistmas faves for the Merry Menage Hop. So then I decided to share my letter to Santa (stay with me now, it'll all make sense soon). So, here's my letter:
Dear Santa,
It's Emily again! Now, I've been a pretty good girl this year (I've only been naughty a few times, I swear!). I'm even going to leave out tons of cookies and milk for you (not that I'm bribing you or anything...) So, I just wanted to take the time to let you know what I want for Christmas.
1) Kindle: I'm currently using my Ipod to read my books and it's not very good on the eyes. Plus, I've heard great things about the Kindle, and I really want one!
2) Amazon giftcards: I'm currently saving up for a Kindle, so every giftcard counts. Also Santa, I plan on sharing the love too! See, I do loads of giveaways, but I'd like to be able to do even more in 2013! I promise, I do use my giftcards and own money to get prizes to give away (and to pay for shipping). So, it's the gift that keeps on giving. And Christmas is the season to give and receive, so it works well!
3) ARE giftcards: Let's be honest here. I have a huge book habit and I go through books like crazy. Unfortunately, my wallet doesn't like to support my habit. So, I use giftcards to keep me going :)
4) A working laptop: 'Nuff said.
5) BOOKS, BOOKS, AND MORE BOOKS!! I have so many on my TBR wishlist, it's insane. I think I have more books on there then I could possibly ever read, though I will attempt to do so.
6) Socks. Now that I need loads of socks for my job, I have trouble finding even ONE matching pair. So, some socks would be greatly appreciated as well.
So, now that you've seen my list, I'd love if you'd remember me on Christmas Eve when you're handing out gifts to everyone! Also, I'm running a contest on my blog, and others will be sharing their Christmas wishes on it, so if you could check it out and help them as well, that's be awesome! Thanks a bunch Santa!!
Love,
Emily

When I was amid, we always went to the lot to buy a real try. The tree was always a bit too tall, so each year, we had to cut off the rip. smelled so good! Thanks!
ReplyDeletebrendurbanist at gmail dot com
Yes we have, a lot actually! To name a few, Midnight mass (more like late night or early dawn mass) and midnight/Christmas eve dinner :)

We don't really have any traditions, at least not beyond the usual ones like unwrapping gifts on Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteI would really like the Inexplicables by Cherie Priest! smblooding at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThis question about Holiday traditions was my Kindergarten son's homework. We don't have too many traditions. Every year we make a gingerbread house. On Christmas eve we go to an early church service, then come home and eat Cheese Fondue. Before putting the kids to bed my husband reads "The Night Before Christmas" then the kids open the presents from each other.

I like to decorate Xmas cookies with my Mom.
ReplyDeleteI got a Kindle Fire this year and I don't know how I ever lived without an ereader. I love it! However, I do want to get an e-ink ereader one day because the KF is a little hard on my eyes.
I hope Santa Brings me Lord's Fall by Thea Harrison, Beyond a Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning, and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Thanks for the giveaway!

No real family traditions, we just go to my mother in laws house. Good thing I love her! My list to Santa looks a lot like yours except it just says books and GC's! Hope you make the nice list.

Our traditions include family, family, and more family! Truly we are blessed to have so many family members!

We don't really have any traditions for Christmas. The only thing I can think of would be the kids being allowed to get the stockings when they get up in the morning before the parents. We had to stay away from the presents until every one was awake.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway and for being a part of the hop.

Our tradition is to spend Christmas Eve with friends eating and drinking and every year we watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation after opening up gifts!

One of our traditions is that the kids get to open one present each on Christmas Eve, their new Christmas pajamas. Then they wear them that night for the next morning :) Thank you!!!
