Holiday Hoopla!

WOW- 2 memes in 2 days! It's like meme-palooza round here! My sweet cousin Ann tagged me, and I'm not gonna be a scrooge about it- so here you go!

here are the rules:
1. List 12 random things about yourself that have to do with Christmas
2. Please refer to it as a 'hoopla' and not the dreaded 'm'-word
3. You have to specifically tag people when you're done.
None of this "if you're reading this, consider yourself tagged" stuff is allowed.
4. Please try and do it as quickly as possible. The Christmas season will be over before we know it
Got the rules?
Here's my list:
1. I have a fake Christmas tree, this is the first year I've decorated it- and I love how easy it is! It only took me 30 minutes! Also, you can manipulate the branches :)
2. I was afraid of Santa coming into my house when I was little, so I always slept with my little bro on Christmas Eve
3. I love spending Christmas Eve with my parents: my mom makes it very magical
4. I can't wait to have kids to do fun kid stuff that makes Christmas what it is!
5. I really want a pretty nativity set: the one I have has the figurines glued to the stable- not pretty or fun
6. I have only bought 2 presents for Christmas. And I'm not even freaked out!
7. I really want to go to Christmas Eve or Christmas Day church service, but I dont' want to go by myself.
8. It makes me sad to think about how many of my students dread the holidays, because of their terrible home lives.
9. Therefore, I wish I had more $$$ so I could give them presents and happy memories!
10. I really wish Rose could be home for christmas, and not preparing to deploy to Iraq.
11. I have not watched a single Christmas movie: not by choice!
12. I love Clamation Christmas

Mine sucked, sorry. I did the best I could considering that I was suppossed to do it fast. And I tag You, and You and You
