What's on your Christmas wishlist?
Mandy and I are doing this post together :-) so here's my wishlist. (I'll try to keep it short...haha)
1. This dress from Modcloth...or practically anything from Modcloth honestly.
2. An Amazon Kindle. OMG I can't even express to you how much I want this...
3. RECORDS!! I'm not picky I'm an eclectic soul. So I really just want records...of course there are a few I'd like to have more than others.
4. A family portrait with me, my roomies, and our cat and dog. I want this more than anything!!
5. Groceries!! Haha, we've been keeping our eating to a minimum at the 205 here lately...
This list could go on for ages...so that's all I'll share for now.
_____________________________________________________
Mandy here!!! I am excited about my wish list as well....though it's a little late on the shipping end, so I am open to getting these presents any time of year. :)
2. THIS SHOULDER BAG makes my heart go crazy! I love it.
3. The A-Team Movie - some may not have loved it.....but I was not one of those people. I adored this movie!
4. THIS dress from shoprouche.com - I think I would look yucky in it, but hey, a girl can dream. :)
Day 5 - 12 Days of Christmas
What's the most random/odd Christmas present you've ever gotten?
Okay, in high school, a club I was in had a Christmas party and we played dirty santa. The rule was you had to spend $0 - $5 on the gift. So most of the gifts were pretty hilarious. This is where I got the weirdest present ever (and I'm pretty sure it was one of the $0 presents haha). I got a hunter orange toboggan but that's not the best part... inside the toboggan was a cow keychain and when you squeezed it, it looked like it was pooping. ...yea.
kinda like this only a cow...haha
My dad has some of the best odd present stories though...
One year at the office Christmas party (they play dirty santa every year) he got a plastic fireman's hat from Firehouse Subs lol and one year he got a bowling ball that someone had stolen from their neighbor's yard.
So tell us about your random Christmas presents!
I'm so excited about the prize for today...it's a random surprise present from me :-)! Paired with a cute bowtie hairbow...just in case you don't appreciate my random gift hehe.
smooches!

Day 4 - 12 Days of Christmas
What's your favorite Christmas movie(s)?
Before we get to that...I just want to say: awesome limericks yesterday!! They were so creative :-) good poetry skills.
Okay, as for today's challenge: I have two absolute favorites.
1. White Christmas. A classic!
2. Elf. A modern classic in my eyes. It doesn't even have to be Christmastime for me to want to watch this movie. It's so cute and funny. Here's one of my favorite clips from the movie.
So tell us your favorites!
Today's winner gets a copy of one of my favorite Christmas movies :-)!

Day 3 - 12 Days of Christmas
Write a Christmas Limerick.
OMG so so so funnnnn! I'm super psyched about this one. If you've never written a limerick before here's the secret: it follows an AABBA pattern. So the end of every A line should rhyme and the end of every B line should rhyme. Since I'm no expert, here's a website if you want some in depth explanations.
This is my Christmas Limerick:
Snowflakes fall on the ground,
And pretty snow angels abound,
Kids bundle up tight,
And sit by firelight,
Passing hot chocolate around.
I cannot wait to read your limericks :-)
Today's winner gets a super cute pen and a stylish button ring. So you can look chic while you write more limericks, of course!
love you!

Day 2 - 12 Days of Christmas Blog Challenge
Mandy again!!!! Day 2 of the Fabulous Blog Challenge is to share a Christmas Tradition......... We personally don't have any in the Deitering family, other than everyone comes over to our house to have the big family event. But we don't have any particular day or time or dress attire.....sooo I am stealing a family tradition from a co-worker Vicki (and Jessica's mother-in law).
Vicki never puts out presents before Christmas Eve night!!!!! Nothing gets wrapped, nothing gets peeked at, nothing gets shaken .... she spends Christmas Eve night, wrapping presents, and putting them under the tree, that way when the kids wake up ...TADA!!!! all the presents are out! I think it would be a great idea, but I would go crazy, so I wrap as I go.
I will say over the past couple of years we have started a bit of a tradition by spending Christmas Eve Night over at my parents and then wake up Christmas morning, eat breakfast, open presents and then watch some kind of Christmas movie. OH! and I don't allow clean-up of wrapping paper until all the presents are opened. I like for it to be one big mess of christmas paper and bows for just a little bit.....and then I have to clean, but cleaning as you go....takes some fun out of it. :)
What are some of your family traditions? Again, this request is paired with a prize.......A scrapbook kit made with love straight from the Hello Ladies mega stash of scrapbooking materials! So you can put your Christmas traditions into a memory book :).
So blog about this....tweet about it....facebook it.... we've got 10 more days of challenges and you might just find some new fabulous Christmas ideas in the process...... Who knows. :)

Day 1 - 12 Days of Christmas Blog Challenge
Mandy here! I have been elected to kick off this blog challenge and for day 1 I am sharing my 5 all time favorite Christmas songs.... If I can narrow it down. :) This may end up expanding into my 5 all time favorite Christmas movies as well.
Lets get this started:
#5 - Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me - Elvis
The whole Elvis Christmas album is genius! It may not be some peoples' cup of tea, but I love happy, fun Christmas music. Plus we have a friend who jumps on the piano and plays it and sings like Elvis at the drop of a hat....can't beat it. Another one note worthy is "It's Christmas Time Pretty Baby".....
#4 - Carol of the Bells/Sing we now of Christmas - BarlowGirl
Super song, of course I love harmonies and vocal......this group is PERFECT! I love everything they do, and this song is a perfect mash up of 2 songs, seamless. Find it on itunes, or MySpace...purchase it, you will love it, I promise!
#3 - Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt
No other version compares to the fabulous Eartha Kitt. I LOVE singing to this song, I get all the words mixed up and sometimes I look like an idiot singing it in the car....but oh well! I love, love, love, love it!
#2 - I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas - Bing Crosby
Come on.....this should be on everyone's list......period. How can you not LOVE Bing Crosby???? Such an amazing voice, Jessica and I are on a mission to find the next Bing Crosby.
#1 - O Holy Night - by Seven Day Jesus
Best.....version.....ever! Of course I am a sucker for a guy who can sing high and sing with passion. Get on MySpace and find this version, if you have not listened to it, you have not official started your Christmas season....just sayin. :)
okay that is my list - your challenge is to give me your top 5 Christmas Songs. We will pick a winner and the winner will receive (drum roll) a $10.00 ITunes gift card!!!!!! WooHoo!
Don't forget that this is a blog challenge, so send us a link to your blog, blog about this! It's gonna be a lot of fun. :)
