Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@lnum  I would wonder too!

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

I second (I mean third) this @Ispend2much6 @lnum 🤣

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 10: What's your decorating style?  I don't decorate since it's my cat and me.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 10th: What is your decorating style? 🎄 

 

Our house is a mish mash of Christmas decorations 😅 anything that makes us smile that we've collected over the years. Example, We have a giant white and gold nutcracker we love so much but does not match anything... except like everything he dosent match so he's right at home 💚

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 9: Funniest (or worst) gift you ever got? Clothes that don’t fit 

 

December 10: What's your decorating style? Disney inspired with decorations around the house for the kids to enjoy. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

Oooh yes, clothes that don't fit or aren't to your personal taste are tough to recieve @SportyGirly125 😬

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

Funnies/worst gift: maybe not the WORST but I definitely remember my grandparents coming to visit us one Christmas when I was a kid and my grandmother knitted me a (very itchy, uncomfortable) sweater for Christmas.  As a kid, getting a sweater is bad enough but the sweater just barely fit over my head!  My mom insisted that I wear it that day to show my grandma my...uh...appreciation and it was absolute murder trying to get it on and off 😂.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@CookieGirl1  That reminds me of the scene in A Christmas Story where Ralphie is forced to wear the pink bunny suit. 😂  You got off a little bit easier, thankfully.  Maybe.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 9: Funniest (or worst) gift you ever got?  When I was a youngster, Mom would always buy us underwear.  Why do mom's do that!?  Underwear is a need, not a gift!  When all your friends are getting Stretch Armstrong and you get...underwear? 😱

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

🤣🤣🤣 @Titian06 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Titian06 I know!  When I was a kid my mom would gift me winter coats for my October bday...

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Titian06  I'm with you on that!  I do know that when money was tight we'd get similar from my grandparents.  As a child I didn't understand that.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 7: What movies and TV are on your watch list?  And which ones do you skip? - I have so many shows I need to watch. All the Marvel shows on Disney+, Wednesday are the top ones. Hoping to get caught up soon since I'll have the week after Christmas off.

 

December 8: If Santa were to visit your house, what cookies would you leave out? - There's a grocery store near me called Market Street and they make THE BEST oatmeal raisin cookies. I think Santa would leave me everything on my wishlist after having them! 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@AznAngelLiz those cookies can be do good when done right!

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@AznAngelLiz  Good oatmeal cookies are difficult to make, for me anyway.  Aldi's cranberry oatmeal cookies are pretty good; those are the best commercially made ones I've found where I am.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Ispend2much6 my grandmother used to have some grocery store brand oatmeal cookies that were iced, and hard as rocks...but so good and underrated!

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@greeneyedgirl107   I remember those!  They were about $1 a bag (or less.)  The coconut thins were made by the same company.

Looks like Archway makes them now.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Ispend2much6 I used to work with a woman whose family owned Archway.   They sent trucks and trucks of cookies to her wedding. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@greeneyedgirl107  That's one way to save money! 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 6: If you could plan an ideal holiday feast, what would be on your menu?

So many good ideas!  If I had more energy I'd make up a nice list.  For now, I'll say a bunch of tapas, or Chinese food.  Or maybe seafood!

 

December 7: What movies and TV are on your watch list?  And which ones do you skip?

There are so many that I like to watch.  The original Grinch, Mickey's Christmas Carol, A Garfield Christmas Special, A Christmas Story, Die Hard, Reindeer Games, Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas Spectacular, Christmas episodes of Married with Children/South Park/I Love Lucy/The Twilight Zone, Miracle on 34th Street, Home Alone, It's a Wonderful Life, Gremlins, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.  I think I need a break from Love, Actually.

 

I did not enjoy elf.

 

IDK if I'll have time to try some new ones, like The Man Who Invented Christmas, Anna and the Apocalypse, Christmas in Connecticut and Joyeux Noel.

 

There are ones that I'd like to try watching as an adult, but don't have access to.  Like, Santa Clause: The MovieLook Who's Talking Now and Prancer.

 

December 8: If Santa were to visit your house, what cookies would you leave out?

I have a bag of Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix that's begging to be used.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@greeneyedgirl107  Thank you for hosting this thread!  The Betty Crocker mix makes great sugar cookies!
