The annual Mama’s Holiday Wish List contest gives people a chance to read and share heartwarming, funny and inspiring answers to the Holiday Wish List Meme for a chance win a fantastic grand prize package from GameStop.com. Entering is easy, get the details and enter the grand prize giveaway here.
Here are my personal answers to the Holiday Wish List Meme:
-
What is your holiday wish for your family? That we giggle and laugh and snuggle and get all cozy together and really feel that awesome Christmas magic. We are in the prime Christmas magic years around here. -
What is your Christmas morning tradition? Wait for the pitter-patter of Simon's feet in the hallway. Head downstairs and get all choked up over how excited he gets that Santa has visited our house. Just thinking about adding in Anna's excitement this year is almost too much for me to handle. -
If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be? This is my most decadent dream gift at the moment: Volvo XC90.
-
How do you make the holidays special without spending any money? Listen to Christmas music via Pandora on your computer. I think one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids (and ourselves) is just spending time hanging out around the tree - playing with toys we already have, talking about the history of our ornaments, reading holiday books from the library and our own collection, chattering about Santa, etc. -
What games did you play with your family growing up? We played Monopoly, Clue and lots of Super Mario Brothers.
-
What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood? Opening one present on Christmas Eve (we do PJ's here - when I was a kid it was one we picked out - usually something from a relative) and having an ornament box. My family was a little unique in that we often went together the day before (or a couple days before) Christmas and all shopped together - literally picking out our own gifts. We'd come home, put them all into a big wicker basket/chest in the living room, and then open up the chest on Christmas morning. We usually drove to downtown Seattle for the day which always made it even more special.
-
Where would you go for a Christmas-away-from-home trip? My parents will be in Hawaii this year and I'd love to be spending the holidays with them. -
Check out GameStop and tell us, what are the three top items on your GameStop Wish List this year? Simon's a big Lego WII fan and I love Mario. It would be fun to add Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars or Lego Batman to our collection.

One of the traditions that I have with my family is Friday Family Fun Night. This involves doing something together as a family after sharing a takeaway meal. Often a game is chosen and some of our favourites have been Mousetrap, Pictureka, Yahtzee, Cluedo and the latest favourite is Lego Creationary.

My favorite game is Bananagrams! It's fun to play with grownups, but there are so many ways to adapt it for little ones -- letter identification, word families, spelling words... Split!

When I was a kid, I would go to my friend Kim's house and play Pit with her family. I have the best memories of sitting around her dining room table playing the game with her family!

Boggle on the Wii is so much fun! On my kids' wishlist this year is xbox kinect and I have to say the commercials for it do look fun! For traditional games we like a fun game called Pass the Pigs...a great family game. We also recently learned a dice game called Farkle that is tons of fun for the family. Generally we love all kinds of board games.

Growing up I loved PacMan on the old school Atari! I've also enjoyed Mario Cart.

Our favorite game growing up was a game that we kind of made up based on the game, Pictionary. We didn't actually have the game so instead we played Dictionary! :) We selected words from the dictionary and put them in a basket and then drew the words to play...it was fun and truly never-ending!

My favorite game is Scrabble. As a family, though, we love to play Wii sports. Especially bowling. My five year old beats me and my husband every time.
