haha! the re-gifter makes me chuckle! (no, it's not me!)I love mass on Christmas Eve, too, it's full of singing and family and just pure loveliness. Merry Christmas! I love the holidays!
That's a great TT!
I loved it.
I’m up!
Awww ... what a wonderful list!
I'm up as well.
Great list...I can't wait to be able to sit down and watch some of the Christmas movies! Happy TT!
Yup, some great Christmas memories... I know family members that regift too! I don't remember my first Christmas with my husband though... I remember our first Christmas together. I had just turned 18 and he bought me a horrid sweater! :)
We do Christmas stockings too. I am going to have filling one for my husband this year. :-)
I think there's a re-gifter in every family. Did your re-gifter ever accidentally give a gift back to the original giver? It's always interesting when that happens for those of us watching from the sidelines.
Family Ties board game - wow that is classic!! :)
I'm howling about the regifter -- how'd you discover that (or shouldn't I ask?).
Happy TT!
What great memories! I love the idea for Christmas dinner. We don't have a standard tradition, because everyone has other things on their mind, but this might put a different spin on things.
Thanks for the reminder about Christmas movies. We need to get ours out of the attic soon!
Great TT!! Love it!!
I love the light tours, by hayride would be even cooler
Haaaa... I have a #4 too! LOL
I love all these Christmas memory TT's today.
Those are great memories!
The Christmas hayride sounds wonderful!
This is our first Christmas in our "real" house. I want it to be perfect...but we're missing a gas log still! (We're renting & the previous renters made off with the log) We at least have the real tree!
Merry Christmas!
Family Ties boardgame??? I didn't know that there was ever a FT game..I LOVED that show.
A hayride through a neighborhood looking at lights sounds like fun!
My 13 are up.
That is a fantastic TT list!
A wonderful walk down memory lane!
Thanks for visiting my T13.
I can't believe that people really regift! That's crazy!
A great list! Sounds like you have alot of wonderful Christmas memories and traditions.
Thanks for stopping by earlier! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Also I must admit I re gift once in a while. Like the grab gift from my bf dads office is being re gifted to my Bf office party
I love your list and all of your wonderful Christmas memories! Family Ties board game...that's a blast from the past:) Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!
What a cool idea - the "everyone's favorite food" dinner! I think I may throw that one out to my family this year! (Has to be other than christmas though. We have our Italian traditions from which we cannot deviate! heh)
Thanks for visiting Snarkypants. Have a good week!
I love #7! I still get a stocking every year. This year the mom is even making one for boyfriend head. He's never had a stocking before, so it should be a good time
Amy - thanks for stopping by!
This is a great TT. Sometimes I regift...but it is because I have something that is still in the box that I know someone else really wants.
Great list! I am guilty of regifting, but never used items, always new, never tacky, and that I never used with the tags still on. :O)
What a great list, Amy. So many wonderful memories. And this year, I'm sure you'll have more.
Happy Holidays to you.
And thanks for stopping by.
Christmas movies do rock! I watched Love Actually last night. I'm going to have to pick out another one to watch.
I've been known to regift--and have also been the recepient. But rarely. Usually the family drawing for names.
Great list.
My TT is up--click on the scroll to find it.
Number 10 sounds wonderful! One year all of our in-town extended family was out of town for Christmas so we made a smaller (and delicious!) meal and stayed in our pj's all day. It was one of the best Christmas dinners ever.
