Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

TodaysMama and Provo Craft are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What 5 items are on your holiday wish list this year?
(This is hard because we don't really buy gifts for Christmas. Last year we only spent $20 or $25 each I think, and the two years before that we went to Mexico, so we bought each other stocking stuffers only.)

• Music by Lenka, Ingrid Michaelson and others
  
• Dream Item: An iPod maybe...
  
• Another pair of jeans (I only have one pair right now)
  
• Another Dream Item: A double jogging stroller (Shane really wants this too)
  
• Yet Another dream item: A sewing machine (I have always wanted one!)
  

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

• My sister Marci has made me several handmade things and I love her gifts SO much. Right now I especially love the patchwork framed in Ruby's room that Marci made me. I think it was for Christmas a few years back, but it could have been for my birthday.
  

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

• I have been trying for a few years to gather all the favorite family recipes, make them and photograph them, and get them into a cookbook for my siblings and friends. This year I am actually making something (for a few people on our list) that I have always wanted to learn how to. I can't tell you about them yet though because it's a surprise for the recipients!
  

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

• I remember being pretty stoked about my red Barbie Ferrari.
  

5. What items are on your kid’s wish list this year?

• CJ: Transformers that really transform (Bumblebee specifically)
  
• CJ: Toy Guitar
• RJ: Diapers, wipes, formula, and toys!
  

6. What is your favorite holiday food?

• Traditional foods my family ate every Christmas include clam chowder, homemade rolls, Danish pastries, and shortbread cookies.
  

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

• Like I said before, it's a secret! Check back to see pictures after the recipients have gotten them. I will say this -- I am sewing them.
  

8. What is your favorite holiday movie?

• Christmas Story is a classic -- "You'll shoot your eye out!"
• I also love all the cheesy ABC Family Christmas movies on every night in December.
  

9. Favorite holiday song?

• Love almost all of them, but I never tire of hearing O Holy Night.
  

10. Favorite holiday pastime?

• Hanging out with family and friends, driving around to see Christmas lights, eating yummy food and warming up by the fire with warm beverages.
