    I would have to say my most memorable holiday would be the one with my husband before we had the kids. We went to Melbourne, beautiful city, then down along the Great Ocean Road to see the Twelve Apostles. Up to Alice Springs and then to see Ayers Rock and the Olga's. Best ever holiday.

  2. Michelle says:

    My favorite memory is hosting my family at my house...making breakfast and having everyone in my space.

  3. Marie says:

    It's a tough question, most of them tend to blend together. One particular New Years Eve that I remember, it had been snowing a lot. My dad always used to light a bunch of fireworks, and the neighbors' kids used to come to our garden to watch them. There was almost two feet of snow, and my dad went out to light the firworks - in clogs! That I remember vividly!

  4. Abby says:

    Most memorable holiday memory was when my cousin made it back in time for the holidays even with flights being all booked, she managed to get the last ticket!

    We always have good holidays. But my favorites are always when it snows on Christmas. Its the one day when it really stays nice and pretty outside before all the traffic, etc ruins the look.

  6. Lbarra says:

    Some of my most favorite memories of the holidays are from my early childhood when we used to have HUGE family gatherings, they were more like reunions with the amount of people that would show up. It was wonderful celebrating with so many people. Thankfully, I have plenty of great memories of the holidays from then to present, it's always great to look back upon those times.

  7. Awesome giveaway!
    My most memorable holiday would have to Christmas when I was 7. Santa left me a pink, 3 story, barbie doll house! I played with it so much, I wore holes in the knees of my jeans.

    thanks!

  8. Hi. Awesome giveaway. Thank you!

    What is your most memorable Holiday Memory?

    I think that would be one Christmas when I was younger, not sure how old but one year my sister and I went caroling at a homeless shelter and passed out gifts to them when then had nothing on Christmas.

  10. When i was , like 4 i decorated the christmas tree with my sister :D

    it was so funny , but the tree didn
    t look too neat :D

  11. Wow, somehow I never entered this, so.. why not? lol

    Anywell, I think my favorite holiday memory is the Christmas Eve back when I was like 5-6 years old. My mom had dressed up in a red costume and while my bro was keeping me busy she was going to sleep in the living room and leave my present under the tree.
    Of course, the little devil that I was, I got rid of my brother and run to the living room and I really managed to see something red leaving from the balcony door.
    I was convinced for years that it was Santa's boot, alas my mom and bro told me like a decade later that it was just mom! lol

    It is amazing that she got into all that trouble though, so yes, happy memory! XD

  12. My most memorable holiday is last year when it was my little nephews first Christmas! It was lovely to have the Christmas spirit put back into everyone now a little one was around! =)

  13. Tura Lura says:

    My most memorable holiday - which may only be most memorable because it was most recent - is this past Christmas Eve.

    My husband's family gathered on Christmas Eve for the big meal and exchange of presents. The best part for me was watching my almost-11-month-old niece and nephew open their presents. They were so excited about everything: the bows, the paper, the boxes, and the gifts. They each got a book, and those two were their favorite gifts! Just seeing their eyes light up at the sight of the books warmed my heart. ^_^

  14. I think my favorite would be Christmas this year. I have 3 kids and we do not have a lot of family around and to me when I was little Christmas was always just awesome fun. But with only us every year it kinda felt it was missing something. So we surprised them and on Christmas day we took them to a water park near by. And stayed in the hotel had dinner and played. They were soo happy. They kept telling me it was their best Christmas EVER!!!

    Long time ago me and my family had the tradition of matching Pjs we could open one present before christmas and it was always the pjs

I am sorry! I LOVE the awards you give me and I wish I didn't have to do this, but my blogging schedule in general has not made possible for me to follow the requirements for the awards I receive.

Because of that, I feel that this is for the best.
