  1. Hi Sandra, I remember the Christmas I heard Santa Claus in my house. I was probably around 6 years old and I heard the bells on my Christmas stocking as it fell off the door (we didn't have a fireplace). I made my grandma go out into the livingston first in case Santa was still there.

  3. Last year I was a new Mom for Christmas so I think watching my baby girl made Christmas so meaningful and memorable.

  5. Candlelight service on Christmas Eve while growing up is my favorite. When the lights in my big church went dim, seeing the rows and rows of candles and singing along to Silent Night - well it still gets me a little teary-eyed thinking about it! Thanks for your giveaway!

  6. My favorite Christmas memory involves driving from North Carolina to Kansas in the days when it was not all interstate. We would drive through small towns and see the most magical Christmas displays - just like a Norman Rockwell painting. :-) Thanks for the chance to win!

I was so upset that he missed santa.... lol

  12. My favorite Christmas memories are of going christmas tree hunting in the mountains. One year there was bunches of snow and our truck slid off the scary dirt road on the way down (we were all ok) but most other years it's way calmer!

    ReplyDelete
  13. My favorite Christmas memories are driving around at night looking at lights. We had a particular neighborhood in our town that went all out. Each house had a large display representing a Christmas song. As a young child I thought that was really cool. As a mom I thought it was really cool watching my son enjoy a piece of my childhood.

  14. When my boys were 3 and 4, we woke up Christmas morning and waited... and waited... and waited for them to wake up. When we finally made enough noise to awaken them, they each opened ONE present - noisy firetrucks and absolutely refused to open anything else - they were so into the firetrucks LOL. That was the Christmas that the Toy Story figures were all the rage and I had waited in line to get the spaceship and my boys weren't interested in the least GRR!

  15. One of my favorite Christmas memories is my sister's, aunt's, and my annual Christmas songs "concert" after Christmas day brunch.

  16. I loved opening presents with my brother on Christmas morning. He still believed in Santa for a long time, so we'd leave little clues for him around the house to make him further believe that Santa was there.

    ReplyDelete
  39. My favorite memory was when my sister and I were being kind and setting up the Christmas tree for my mom. My sister was the one adjusting the tree at the stand, while I was making sure it was straight. The tree fell on top of her and I couldn't stop laughing! She was fine! ;)

  51. Every year forms a new favorite memory. I love recalling how my grandfather would show up to pick us up every year - mom didn't drive and Daddy was overseas - saying Christmas was canceled because he "shot the old buzzard". Every year I told him he made it to us and he said it must have been after that. My grandfather didn't even own a gun!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'm an Army brat so we were usually far away from family at Christmas. When I was in grade school we were stateside & close enough to my Mom's family, so that my Dad could drive up to my Grandmother's in the Alleghany Mountains of MD. It was fun spending Christmas on the farm. Thanks for the giveaway.

  53. Favorite Christmas memory? Not being able to sleep at all on Christmas Eve night because I was so excited for what Santa might bring. Geez - that was a l-o-n-g time ago! I'm a new follower.

  54. A few years ago I remember sitting in our front room Christmas afternoon watching all my children, spouses and grandchildren playing and talking and being overwhelmed with the feeling that it doesn't get any better than this. Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  55. I can remember Santa arriving when we were out on a Christmas light drive. I think my folks felt we were catching on and wanted to make us believers for a few more years. It worked.

    ReplyDelete
  56. one year for christmas my dad set up the video camera to catch santa in the act - and he did! watching the tape the next morning we saw boots and a gloved hand putting gifts under the tree. :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. I think each year brings a new memory to add to the past ones.. Loved when the kids were little and that special excitement that comes when you believe in Santa still.. they continue as big kids (adults) when they get excited over just the small things and being together.. Christmas is still a magical time.
    Thanks for the chance -- I am a new follower. Great blog..

  64. Hello from Minnesota! (If I got a puppy it would trump everything! but...) one of my favorite Christmas memories is from when I was five: I got a Cabbage Patch doll (the real ones that came form adoption centers and had cloth faces) and then we went to Christmas service at our church and my parents made me leave my new baby, Geneva Belle, in the cold car. I was one worried little mother!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I grew up in and low live again in Southern California, but for 6 years (when my kids were little), we lived in New England. So, there is something really special and memorable about those 6 Christmases. One year, in particular, when we lived in rural Maine-- my husband took the kids (on their little cross-country skiis) across the many feet of snow, to find and cut down our own pine tree. So cute! And, as a CA-gal, it was just so magical and memorable. (as I sit here in the sunshine eating tangerines from our own tree... a different kind of magic!)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Most memorable Christmas was the year we lived in Florida (I grew up in Missouri) and we went to the beach on Christmas day. It was so odd to me. It was so warm.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Me mum and I would always go shopping together for christmas. just the 2 of us to look for presents for the rest of the family.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Scoping out all the presents while waiting for my parents to get out of bed. We never understood why they weren't as excited as we were.

    ReplyDelete
  69. My favorite memory is the year I got my scooter with a honker (creature from sesame street) horn... it quickly turned into a bad memory when my bother decided he would get to ride it and broke my honker... Oh well I still remember how excited I was in the first place.

  76. Scratching scratch-off lottery tickets with my cousin after we opened presents was always fun :)

    ReplyDelete
  77. My favorite Christmas memory was the year my parents invited 5 lonely people from our church to share dinner with us that day. It left a big impression on my child mind and became one of my favorite and clearest memories of the holiday because it was a real and genuine extending of God's love to those less blessed than we were.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I remember the first year that we had our dog, he was so overwhelmed by people and gift wrap that he couldn't handle it. He eventually wore himself out and passed out under the tree. He let us "wrap" him up in paper. It's still one of my favorite pictures of him :) He's 13 now and doesn't really get too excited about much these days.

    ReplyDelete

  81. When I was a child I wanted a sled in the worst way. Of course it was too big to be wrapped, so there it sat under the tree at my Grandparents. I ran to it making the obvious assumption, but my Grandma said she thought it was for Aunt Nonie. I don't remember crying, but I do remember feeling deflated. Then my Grandpa (who mush have snuck some writing on the bottom without my seeing it) announced that Santa had written my name on the bottom.

    ReplyDelete
  82. My favorite memory was the year as a child that we got our puppy Scooter. He was a dachshund and we had him for 16 years. Sturdy dog to survive 7 children.

  84. I have so many great Christmas memories. One that is a favorite is Christmas of 2004. During Thanksgiving my husband, my boys (7 and 5 at the time) and I were in China meeting our daughter (and sister) for the first time. We had our daughter home for her first Christmas and her first birthday. We spend that Christmas with family and it was so wonderful introducing Gianna to her new family. :)

    ReplyDelete
  85. My favorite Christmas memory would be that of my Granddad. He has since passed away. He played Santa Claus for me, my sister and my 2 newphews when we were just little kids. I knew it wasn't the real Santa Claus because Granddad wore his glasses and Santa Claus didn't. Still, his heart was in the right place and he still did a good job and you got to sit on his lap and presents were handed out. You have the perfect giveway - Moda Charm Pack from Half Moon Modern. That is all we really want.Fabric - strips, yards, charm packs, it doesn't really matter. Thank you for the chance to win. Happy Holidays.

  94. I have so many happy Christmas memories, it's hard to choose just one. But one that came instantly to mind was the first Christmas after I fell in love with the man who then became my husband. This was a long time ago--1958! He had given me his present before we left our college, but made me promise not to open it until Christmas Day. I cheated a bit and sneaked down to our tree late on Christmas Eve and opened it. It was a beautiful gold bracelet with a dangling heart on it. Sadly, somewhere along the way I lost that bracelet, but the memory is still as bright as that gold heart was!

  117. My favorite Christmas was in the 1980's. I was in my early twenties and had been in the hospital for several weeks. A friend of mine who was terrified of hospitals came into my room carrying a live four foot tree and all the decorations. I will always remember that Christmas because he not only fought the doctors and nurses to be able to get the tree in my room but also spent the evening decorating the room. He was shaking and looked like he would pass out any second but brought Christmas to me because he cared more about me than his own fear.

  121. Hi Sandra: I'm a new follower. I hope you'll come by and visit me, too, and follow. My favorite Christmas was the first one when I was a girl where I had enough money to buy presents for everyone in my family. I rode the bus downtown to the Woolworth's store (WalMart of yesteryear) and bought something for everyone. I wrapped them all and was sooooo excited to see them opened. That year began a long many years of the thrill of giving.

  125. The first Christmas that we spent in this house I was alone. My husbans was deployed and we had an ice storm that stranded me for a couple of days. On Christmas morning I got up and walked down to the river to see the sun light up the ice in the trees. That and the sound of the river was one of the most beautiful and peaceful moments in my life.

    ReplyDelete
  126. it is not my favorite memorie, but the one who has made me who I am today.. when I was young my dad told me there would be no Christmas as he didn't have any money..I had hoped that Santa would step in and leave something under the tree, but it didn't happen..I would have been happy with a coloring book but there was nothing. When I grew up I decided that if there was a child in need of Christmas I would be that Santa and I have every year found a family on hard times who just needed a helping hand. Santa gets things for the children and something small for mom and dad and then it is left on their door.. They never know who their Santa is. I also work all year with my charity group to make items for ill children, nursing homes and a abused shelter..so they are not forgotten.. The best part of Christmas is sharing

  127. I remember our family going to our church's Christmas Eve service, and hearing the bass soloist's voice ring out, "O Come, O Come, Emanuel."

  135. thank you so much for the giveaway--one Christmas several years ago, we drove to visit family in snow country-we got in just ahead of a bad storm, there was snow and it was really cold and windy and people were told to stay inside but we watched cars continuing to go up and down the roadway(as long as they could anyway); we were safe and with family-a blessed Christmas

  136. My favorite Christmas memory is driving around on Christmas Eve with my cousins looking at Christmas lights - and magically, Santa would always come while we were gone. It's hard to go wrong with Moda designs. Thanks!

    Favorite Christmas memory... I think, for me, it's just the memories over the years of always being with my grandparents, cousins, etc. There are a TON of us that get together, and you can be sure that insanity prevails.

    Thanks yoU!

  138. My favorite Christmas memories are that every Christmas Eve my godfather would come over and bring presents just for me. I felt so special.

  139. One of my favorite Christmas memories is the year we went to visit my parents in the mountains, had a beautiful deep snow, and were able to walk in the woods in the new-fallen pristine snow. Such a treat for this Florida girl!

  141. I have lots of great memories of Christmas growing up. I remember one Christmas when I was a tween and I got all the items on my list. I can still remember the painting with a clock in it that I got.

    Thank you for a great giveaway and the chance to win.
