Hello there! Today I am going to share where I have the best luck finding Christmas gifts for everyone on my list. Gordmans-  Gordmans is a department store in the US, where there is a section for everyone, and prices are really really low. Their customer service is great, too. I worked in a Gordmans for 2 years, so I go there A LOT. I went there yesterday to buy some toys for the kids I babysit. This is also where I get clothes and shoes for my mom and sister, and shirts for my dad. JoAnn Fabrics-  I have lots of quilters and crafters in my family, so I go into this store for supplies a lot. Old Navy-  I got some adorable clothes for the even more adorable little girl I babysit here. Hot Topic-  I get Harry Potter and Disney related things for my sister here. What stores do you do your Christmas shopping at? xx Heidi

If you were to ask Santa for anything and be guaranteed to get it, what would it be? This is SUCH a hard question.

I love having dinner with my family and watching Christmas movies together. 8. What is your favorite winter outfit? Boots, skinny jeans, a sweater, and a scarf.  9. Favorite winter food?

Hello! I first would like to say that I have decided to take part in Blogmas. I thought about it yesterday, but had decided that, with finals in less than 2 weeks, I wouldn't have the time. However, after thinking about it overnight, I figure that as long as I draft some posts in advance, I should be able to do it (please disregard this false hope when/if I don't get all of my posts up in time). Anywho, I have found multiple posts doing The Christmas Tag. However, the questions are different almost every time. So, I've decided to pick my favorite questions from all of the one's I've seen to create my own.  1. What is your favorite Christmas movie? It's a tradition in my family to watch The Year Without A Santa Claus every Christmas, but I also love Elf! 2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? I get to open one or two presents on Christmas Eve, usually ones sent from relatives, but the rest I open on Christmas ...
