Today's Mama Giveaway

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

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


1. What is your holiday wish for your family?

• I'd like my family to safe, healthy, and obedient.

2. What is your Christmas morning tradition?

• We get up at 4:30 am to open gifts.  When the gifts are unwrapped, we enjoy our traditional Christmas Breakfast.  (Yep. That's it's name, Christmas Breakfast.) Some wimpy family members take a nap.  The rest of us shower and play for the rest of the day.

3. If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be? 

• A new car.  I'm not enjoying temporally being a one car family.

4. How do you make the holidays special without spending any money?

• The best parts of Christmas don't require spending money.  There are hundreds of Christmas movies to watch; you can pretty much find one on TV any time in December.  And there's listening to Christmas music, and baking holiday goodies, and Christmas crafts.  I could go on, but I think you get the point.  The main reason for even having Christmas gifts is so I can torment my family with a song about me knowing what they are getting for Christmas. 

5. What games did you play with your family growing up?

• One of my best childhood memories is playing games with my mom.  We played Crazy 8's and Rummy with a plain deck of cards.  We also played Uno, Aggravation, and Pay Day.

6. What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood?

• The only tradition I can remember from my childhood is decorating the Christmas tree as a family.  I do that with my own family, but we decorate the whole house!

7. Where would you go for a Christmas-away-from-home trip?

• I'd prefer an away-from-home trip after Christmas.  I really enjoy being home for Christmas and basking in the traditions.
• For my after Christmas trip, I'd love to go back to Italy!

8. Check out GameStop and tell us, what are the three top items on your GameStop Wish List this year? 

• My kids would love to get in on the Rock Band movement.  (I know, we're so behind the times)
• They would also enjoy Lego Harry Potter.
• Finally, we'd all have fun with Just Dance.

That was fun and now I can enter in Today's Mama amazing giveaway.  You can too!  While you're there, say hi by leaving a comment for me at Arizona Mama.
