Christmas memories that I want to give to my children is to keep that magic alive for as long as possible. I am 37 and still have not been told the truth about Santa. I want that for my children =]
My favourite thing about Christmas to share with my children is spending it with family, the carols the night before as a family and seeing their priceless faces when they see Santa has been 🙂 X
Favourite Christmas memory= Every Christmas Eve my mum and dad would take us for a twilight walk around the neighbourhood. The purpose was to spot Christmas trees sparkling in the windows. The excitement and love brought by such a simple family tradition, I hate to quote Mastercard but, … priceless!
The lighting of the christmad tree on the 1st of December is always pretty
Special
Every year santana lef
Ooh very exciting giveaway kate!!!
Family time with a huge feast and grandpa dressing as Santa and giving out all the gifts to his grandchildren. The look on the kids faces as they open their gifts…That’s priceless!
I loved all the Christmas’ I spent in Italy while living there. It’s totally different to our Summer Christmas’ here in Australia……I’d love for my kids to experience a white Christmas and since I can’t see us going to Italy for a few more years yet, it would be great for them to get a taste of it at Santa’s Magical Kingdom! Fingers crossed.
My favourite christmas memory is leaving carrots and a bottle of beer by the tree for santa and his reindeers. We would wake up to find the carrots nibbled on and the beer bottle empty.
Decorating the christmas tree on the first (and only the first ) of december every year with carols playing in the background and gingerbread cooking in the oven!! Ahhh Christmas.
I love the Christmas traditions. Christmas trees, lights and decorations. Family time. Plum pudding even though it’s 35 degrees. I’d like my son to enjoy these things too. 🙂
The memory I’d love to create with my child is to not have her screeching when she sees Santa 🙂
My favourite Christmas memories include spending time with family, watching carols on Christmas eve and eating a beautiful traditional Christmas lunch and opening presents, I always loved and looked forward to Xmas as a child.
Such a great comp idea! I took my kids last year & it was amazing!!
My favourite christmas memory is my 32 yr old daughters first xmas and the smell of a freshly cut Christmas tree and now this year will be my grandson 1st christmas and l am really looking forward to it.
I want to share the memory of watching Carols By Candlelight every year with my Mum. Mum passed away 20th December 2013 and never got to meet my youngest. I want my kids to share the same tradition.
My favourite Christmas memory is being in England for a white Christmas when I was seven. I’d love for my daughter (eight) to enjoy real cold snow at Christmas time too!
Love Christmas especially with little kids
My favourite Christmas memory is of sneaking out in the wee hours of the morning, in the dark, feeling the presents and trying to guess what they were! I do this now with my kids – we quietly sneak out (we dont tell Daddy), then go back to bed, excited and guessing about what we’ll find in the morning!
Have been the last 2 years and it truly is a magical experience!
One memory in particular stands out, the year Santa finally answered my wishes and left me a trampoline. Of course it was too big to fit under the tree, so my initial Christmas morning discovery was a little disappointing, but soon that changed when out the window I sighted that perfect present. Christmas morning this year my girls will make the same discovery, their Christmas wish granted and my special Christmas memory relived.
Fave Christmas memory when I woke up as a child expecting to see all my wondrous gifts and saw dad asleep on the couch in a sea of mess lol needless to say Santa had a good talking to that year from Mrs Claus
Waking up once morning to find out that santa has left a big piano in my living room .It was wrapped with a big bow….I had been asking for piano for so many months….My child needs to know how I got it from santa because he owns it now
It’s the magical Christmas memories that I want my kids to cherish forever
I remember as a child catching the train to the city to see the myer window, mum alway made it a special family day. I look forward to doing this with my family now that the boys are old enough to enjoy the event.
One of my every own personal Christmas memories occurred on Christmas Eve. We get out the Christmas story and read it with Christmas music playing in the background. This is family time and this is what makes Christmas so very special.
My favourite Christmas memory was receiving a pink pram under the tree… I had no idea it was coming and it was so beautiful… I was just blown away. I have very fond memories of not only pushing my dolls around, but my bunny rabbit too!
Going to my grandmother house as a kid, very old fashioned and very little money. When Christmas was just about family
The simple pleasure of the gift of giving and not necessarily getting something in return and putting up the christmas tree on the 1st December
You don’t know how grateful I would be for these tickets x
Christmas Eve and building the magic by baking cookies, leaving out treats for the reindeer and just keeping the Christmas spirit alive
I loved searching for coins in my Christmas pudding…if only I can get my kids to like Christmas pudding, nobody makes it like my Nan did!
