Complete the following list of Christmas favorites - song, film and treat. Alright, you can have two favorites in each category.
Song~ Silent Night and On this winters night with you

Film~ Muppet's Christmas Carol is a must , Elf and White Christmas

Treat~ Peppermint Ice Cream and Egg Nog If the Christmas Genie were to grant you three wishes, what would you wish for? (stipulations: endless wishes and world peace are not options - and at least one of your three has to be something completely selfish - for you and only you.)
Wish One~ That we would be out of Debt

Wish Two~ New Wardrobe

Wish Three~ New Home, Town house or condo

The big decision I'm currently wrestling with is . . .
Christmas presents, bills, How we are going to visit everyone on Christmas and Neighbor Gifts

The Grinch Stole them!

My Ornaments are missing which also means are Stockings are too. It is really starting to freak me out because my house is only so big so there are only so many places it could be. So All we have at our house is is a tree with lights. Allie loves the tree I just wish it had the angel on top and the ornaments on it.

Oh and I really want Gingy on my Door

PLEASE Mr. Grinch give us our Christmas box back!!

Baby its cold outside!!

Allie was so excited watching the snow out our window the other day. She was laughing and singing but when we finally went out side all bundled up and Allie hated it. We had her touch the snow and she freaked so now she will smile from the window but when we go outside she yells at the snow. The other cute thing Allie has started to do is sing the car with me. The latest song she loves to chime in on is "Baby its cold out side"
