By the Way Sunday Memes

By the Way Sunday Meme

I haven’t played Sindee’s By the Way Sunday meme in a while, so I thought I would catch up with the last two week’s installments. Some great seasonal questions she has been posting. Thanks Sindee!

~I Know It’s Christmas~

By the way…

Complete these sentences…

I know it’s Christmas when I hear…Christmas commercials on TV and Christmas music on the radio or Music Choice channels on our cable system

I know it’s Christmas when I see… our tree and Snow Village up in our house 🙂

I know it’s Christmas when I feel… a bit stressed about going shopping and getting it all wrapped 🙁

I know it’s Christmas at my house when… oops, see above… when our tree, Snow Village and outdoor lights are up!

I know it’s Christmas in my town when… we see our neighbor’s decorations and lights. Just love to turn down our street and see it all lit up!

And here’s last week’s questions, which I wanted to go back and do… more seasonal fun!

~Let It Snow~

By the way…

Does it snow where you live? If not, have you ever seen snow in person? Well, we get maybe one or two light snowfalls where I live, per DECADE. Tim and I have been married 10 years and we’ve had snow once or twice at most. I think we’re about due and I’m hoping we get a little this year!

Do you like snow or do you consider it a nuisance? Oh, I love it! I get cold, but I love to go out and play in it, take pictures, watch the dog play in it, try to build a snowman, throw snowballs and make snow ice cream. I’ve done those things so few times in my life (maybe 5 or 6 total, in my lifetime), that they are all tremendous fun for me. 😀

Do you have any experience with shoveling snow? Nope, never shoveled a lick of snow. Don’t have a clue how!

Have you ever built a snowman? Tim built one during one of the two snowfalls we’ve seen together. I helped a little bit, but mostly took pictures!

If you had a choice would you prefer Christmas with snow or without? Oh, definitely with. What little snow we’ve had in my life has never been near Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

If you could hit anyone with a snowball right now, who would it be? (all in good fun) Well, probably Tim, but I’d love to toss some snow at our new dog Beau and see what he would do. I feel relatively sure he has never seen snow and I’d love to see how he reacts and what he does! 😀

On a related note, I do have one memory of snow from my childhood. I can remember standing at the double glass sliding doors on the back of the house I grew up in, looking out at my two older sisters out playing in the snow. I wanted to go out, but I had these cumbersome metal leg braces on, and my mother wouldn’t let me go out and get in the snow with them on. I can remember standing for so long at the door, and the glass was so cold, and I just wanted to go out and she kept saying “you can’t go out, Stacy”. I was soooo upset!

    Well, I didn’t see the game but it appears by the score that the Colts defense had a really bad week and the offense wasn’t too hot either! They need to get the act together. I guess y’all are enjoying the NO game. I have it on with no sound. Studying for tests this week…no fun! I’m about ready to quit but still have the whole week to get through. Oh, well! Hope your week goes well.

  2. Claire Said,

    BTW, I agree about the snow! It’s about time for it to snow here. It hasn’t snowed since New Years Eve 2000. That was my senior year in high school! Too long ago, even though that was a really good snow!

  3. Debi Said,

    Ah, snow on Christmas – we had one year that we woke up to a vast white covering outside (after nothing the night before). We live up north so we get it all the time, but it is nice when it manages to be around on Christmas.

  4. Laura Said,

    I can’t imagine living in a place without snow – I’ve always said it’s why I couldn’t move to Vegas (otherwise I love Vegas – it’s still Nevada and a big city to boot). But we never have snow on Christmas, either. Our winter doesn’t typically get underway until after the new year. Of course by that I mean down here in the valley. Obviously they’re already skiing up in the mountains.

  5. Simply Dawn Said,

    We are so due for snow please please we snow in the South this year!!! Ok Stacy you start doing your snow dance and I’ll start doing mine, but don’t look for it anytime soon, did you see where we’re back in the 70’s this week 🙁

  6. Shawna Said,

    We have snow a few times a year, usually only a few inches. Our schools close at the site of one snowflake, which was very nice growing up!! I hate you missed out on snow growing up:(

    BTW, I’m adding you to my blogroll. I usually get to your site (and several others) by using Vader’s mom blogroll:)
