Here is a little Christmas Q & A, everyone is tagged... I love learning more about people's traditions!

Christmas a la Stephanie -
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Egg nog for sure!!!

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? We were in Georgia celebrating Christmas and My sister and I were already in bed, my aunt had been telling us all about reidneer on the roof and we heard a real thud. Meshaun, my aunt, jumped up and ran Mimi and I also ran to find that my grandmother had fallen out of the attic and shattered her elbow. She had been getting presents down from Santa!
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? We always opened our family gifts on Christmas eve. We often tried to keep it to one but it never worked. We also tried to go around the room but it always dissolved into a frenzy of paper and squeals!

I love your list! That was sad about your granny falling!

I LOVED my Barbie Dream house, too. I also had Flight Attendant Barbie with the airplane that I loved. Although back then I think she was called Stewartess Barbie. My, how times have changed!!
