For the holiday season, I've started a meme. "The Twelve Questions of Christmas" If you'd like to participate, I'd be honored to have you join in the fun. If you'd like, you are welcomed to use the meme header graphic!
1. Christmas is exciting. [fill in the blank with ONE WORD]
2. In memories, what was the best part of your Christmases past? When my grandmother was alive, as she was the head of the family. The family was complete then...brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins et al.
3. Was Santa ever good to you? This is a family blog...lol!
4. Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or both? Christmas Day
5. Is there something you make each and every year? [craft or recipe]. Not really.
6. What is your favorite five[5] Christmas songs/hymns? O Holy Night, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Santa Baby (Kylie Minogue), Mary's Boy Child and Jingle Bells (Australian version).
7. Is there a new tradition for Christmas since your childhood days? Yes, the swimming pool and not having enormous hot meals.
8. Describe one of your Christmas trips. [whether it's across town or across country] Down to the the next door neighbour's fruit and vege barn to buy a tray of mangoes
9. Do you have a special Christmas outfit to wear for the day? Swim togs and a t-shirt
10. Have YOU or any of your family members sat on Santa's lap? Classified information...smirk
11. What is/or will be on your Christmas tree this year? Candy canes, green and silver tinsel, and a few dingle dangles so far. I haven't finished it yet.
12. Do you/or have you decorated your yard for Christmas? Not yet.

I saw this over at Anni's and thought about doing it. I have been working on Christmas cards tonight instead!! You answered great!! Hope all is well there!! My knee is giving me problems BUT I go to the doctor Monday. just waiting now..Sandy
I am disappointed ! your answers are far too short ! I want to know more about the Australian way of celebrating Christmas ! When I imagine that you can be in your bathsuit and T-shirts at Christmas I start to dream !! How do you put the Father Christmas winterly dressed in the scene, or is he wearing shorts too ? How gardens are decorated or are they decorated ? I have never seen this in my childhood this garden decoration exists only since maybe 10 years and only a little bit nothing in comparison to the "Las Vegas" gardens in the States. You should write a post about how people celebrate Christmas in Australia I mean in general.
Sounds like a typical Aussie Christmas to me and I liked some of your "cheekier" answers too.
#s 3 and 10 had me rolling. AND curious at the same time.
Boy, would I love to be by poolside on Christmas. Color me jealous.
I'll go add your blog url to the list of participants. Thanks for playing my Christmas meme for us....it's a lot of fun to read others' holiday stuff!!!
I did this meme today too! I loved your classified Santa answers...lol!
Have a great day! =)
We live in a warmer climate during Christmas too. But I wouldn't go swimming! I realize that your in Austraila though. ;-)
Hi Robyn! It was great to hear from you again :) Ya Nermal and I miss Oscar, he had some great adventures. I can't get over your Christmas outfit! I wish we could add a swimming pool to our Christmas traditions. Can't believe it's less than a month away already. Hope you're enjoying the holiday season. Take care and I'll see you again soon, Cheers!
Ok, 'fess up, what's between you and Santa????? hehe I so enjoyed your answers. I want to do this meme too and will try to work on it this weekend and hopefully post it on Monday. Gosh, a swim suit on Christmas Day...we usually have to wear 5 layers of clothing! lol xox
What a lovely Christmas-y meme!
Yes, mangoes are a vital part of any Aussie Christmas.
And when are you going to elaborate on all these rude Santa stories?!
