Holiday Inspired UO/FFFC

[billyhorrible]

I'm not scared or creeped out by spiders. And I don't mind them in the house.

[carolyngrace]

I don't like Christmas cookies. (I'm not really into cookies in general, but particularly Christmas cookies). My SIL makes twix bars and muddy buddies and I devour those instead.

I was bit by a brown recluse when I was in 4th grade, and now I am deathly afraid of any type of spider. It doesn't matter the size or color. I am a paranoid freak about it. I check the sheets before I get in bed, my shoes, clothes, and at least once a night I have to get out of bed and turn on the lights because I feel like something is crawling on me.. which of course there never is lol.

[erbear]

+1 on the elf. Some people take it overboard, but I know how much my students love the damn thing and I can't wait for LO to have one.

My family goes all out on Christmas Eve, so I guess that's why I love it more now.

[Bluedaisy]

My objection to the Elf isn't actually the moving it or anything like that it's that the dolls face is creepy. But then I'm creeped out by most vintage dolls.


UO: Eggnog is disgusting nasty shit.

[kemdupuis]

+1 for thinking that eggnog is disgusting whether it is store bought or homemade.

Love me some cookies. Especially sugar cookies with frosting.

O,U: I love fruitcake. And date nut balls. Apparently, I have the tastebuds of an old lady.

Me neither. I teach our kids not to kill them either. We put them on a napkin and transport them outside the house if they are in the way.

Homemade eggnog with whiskey is the shit.

I've never had homemade eggnog before...I think I hang out with the wrong crowd.


I love eggnog flavored ice cream

Christmas Eve in inferior to Christmas Day.

It's snowing all day today until 4am and super windy so we are having Santa come a day early. Our 2 year old has no clue what day it really is.

It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow so I figure he can play outside then instead of being inside all day w toys.

I never kill them either, if they are big I catch them under a glass and slide something under to contain them. But I would get the heeby Jeebies if I had an infestation.

We had kind of an infestation of brown widows in our yard at our old house but we also had a huge garden and they took care of a lot of the pests on the veggies so we left them alone and they left us alone.i don't spend much time thinking about them.

Homemade eggnog with whiskey is gives you the shits.

FTFY 

ETA: Seriously, though, one year husband made this for us and some friends, and he was the only one that somehow didn't have horrible diarrhea that night!

[erbear]

I've never had eggnog. My parents never had it and I'm lactose intolerant so I never tried it as an adult.

[jessila]

Could yall stop even talking about spiders? Uuuug. Do. Not. Like. Ever.

+whatever number to not liking eggnog

I'm glad spiderfest 2015 inspired some O,Us.

Arachnophobia brings everyone out I guess. The brown recluse thing would freak me out, though.
@bubbs, I challenge your statement. Christmas Eve is so much better than Christmas Day.

I'm like this with earwigs, without any good back story like your bite. I'm terrified they're going to crawl in my ear while I'm sleeping. I used to sleep with one hand over my ear that wasn't on the pillow.

[tjanca22]

@jemomma was this "that" present? H would be stoked if he got that present, but I always come up with some excuse.

[tiffbot]

Christmas confession:
Last night we were playing a game (that involved my sister drawing a surprising well drawn uterus, and my dad guessing that it was a monster heart), and it made me laugh so hard I had to pee and didn't make it to the bathroom.

[mrsmonogrammed]

I got super drunk on wine tonight, (unplanned) and DH had to do the bedtime routine with a tired cranky baby....now even feeling ONE bit guilty. Sorry bout'cha.

[bookninja]

I really don't like peppermint in any form.
Also, nuts in cookies.
(I'm looking sadly at a huge plate of cookies we were just given... There must be 6-7 kinds? And only one has no nuts and no peppermint.).

[gilder40]

I used to not mind spiders at all...until my college roommate was bitten by a brown recluse and I saw the hole in her arm. Ick.

I love our Elf on the Shelf. But he just hangs out in the tree.

FFFC: Tomorrow will be the first Christmas I won't be spending with my mom and dad in my entire life.

O, U: I don't like the icicle lights on houses. Nor white lights. Give me color and give me lights EVERYWHERE!!

Loveyoumeanit

How many of you think I actually did a garden and gun theme for Texas Ranger's nursery? I think there was a level of sarcasm lost when we moved over from TD.

[ashbash]

@glider40 no parents here either its really weird......

I just figured he was the only one with a name as cool as Thor's...

FFFC: I had a complete meal planned out for dinner tonight, however M has been super clingy and cranky, so we are ordering Chinese for dinner instead. Sorrynotsorry.

ETA it has just been decided that this is now our Xmas dinner tradition. We also had Chinese last year because we were sick, so we figure 2 years in a row, we may as well keep it going...

I wish we had good Chinese food close by..

[bookninja]

Lol. MIL mentioned (confessed?) around the breakfast table that she gave LO a tiny bit of melted white chocolate on her finger when she and FIL were babysitting the other day.
I don't even care. Really.
It just makes me laugh because she was the one who pooh poohed my plan to give LO bananas because "you don't start with something sweet or they'll never like vegetables!".

[wegrowsheep]

My big present to DS1 was most of a set of Imaginex dinos (5 of them). They were in full battle mode under the tree. He is completely thrilled with them.
FFFFC: I got them from a local yard sale FB page. For $15.

T loves frosting. It was his first taste of real food. When he was 3 mo.

I just tried to take a picture of P crashed out on the sofa and dropped the camera on him.

[Bluedaisy]

FFC: I plan to eat my face off from now until New Years and THEN start the diet. Like seriously gorge. It doesn't help the my mom brought pigs in blankets and more home made candy and my friend left us a bunch of Christmas cookies.

Also I officially hate my mother in law right now and am working SOOOO hard to keep it together and not say anything to DH. She totally favours the other grandkids and it pisses me off and then she makes super backhanded remarks about my mom since she's totally jealous that my mom is so close to LO. Totally her choice.
