2.Honey Baked Ham
3.Christmas Cookies (even though they are just really sugar cookies they are better when they are in shapes with frosting)

3 Favorite Christmas Gifts
1.My Camera.
2.A shadowbox that has a silver spoon and a silver coin and a little note that says you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth but you can have one as you grow old. (my dad actually made the shadowbox so it is very special)
3.A cute little bird pin that my aunt and uncle gave me when I was about 10. They didn’t have much money but each year they would give us all something and I loved it and thought it was beautiful and now as I’m older it really means more to me to think about what they did without to get us all (about 40) something each year.

3 Favorite Christmas Memories
1.The year we went to New Zealand via my mom’s house for my sister-in-law who was homesick. We had kiwi birds and a swimming pool and the ugliest tree I have ever seen. When Lorraine saw it she said that looks just like the trees we had back home in New Zealand. My mom just said well money is pretty tight this year, not wanting to spoil the surprise but how happy we were.
2. The year my mom decided to give us all our childhood wishes (the things we had wanted most as a child but didn't get).
Russell got a $5.00 shirt.Lanice got an EasyBake Oven.I got an Izod shirt.
I don’t remember what Bruce and Vicki got.
3.The year we got Marshmallow guns from my dad and immediately a marshmallow war broke out in the house. I have never seen so many marshmallows in my life and blankets grabbed for cover.
I have to add in the year Russell gave all the boys nerd (black thick rimmed)glasses and my bald nephew a wig and my funniest Christmas memory the year my sister-in-law made my mom an immitation 6.5 million dollar diamond covered bra that my mom had jokingly seen in a Victoria Secret add and told Lorraine she wanted it for Christmas.

3 Favorite Christmas Shows
A new favorite would be “The Christmas Choir”
It would be easier to name 3 I don't like.

3 Christmas Traditions
1.Each year we get Pajama's for Christmas Eve. That way we look good for the pictures.
2.We have something different to eat each year at my mom's on Christmas Eve. One year it was soups, one year it had to be from a fast food restaurant. One year everything you brought had to be purchased with a coupon.
3.We do White Elephant Exchange and it is so fun to watch the fussing and fighting over what you get and what you want.
