I woke up to a nice surprise this morning!
Earlier this week Pea held a "guess how many jelly beans are in this bag" contest and the winner would receive a sample box of her homemade chocolates - if you saw the pictures of all the chocolates she was making - yummy!!
So not only did I win (yay! homemade chocolates!) but I even guessed the exact amount! Wow, that never happens to me ... maybe I should play the lottery?!
Thanks, Pea, for holding a fun contest and being so generous as to give away some chocolates!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I saw this fun holiday survey over at A Penny For Your Thoughts
Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Do I have to choose? I enjoy both!
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? Wraps of course; what would be the fun if you don't have the element of surprise by unwrapping?
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored lights on the tree, white lights outside
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No
5. When do you put up your decorations? The weekend after Thanksgiving
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? honey baked ham and candied yams.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Decorating the tree...always seemed like such a fun, festive time.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I actually don't remember this moment!
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yep!
10. What kind of decorations are on your Christmas Tree? All different kinds; I don't have any type of "theme" - there isn't any tinsel or garland though.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread? Love it! At least I used to...I haven't had to "deal" with it in about 6 yrs now, so who knows I might dread it :) I just think it's not the holidays without snow!
12. Can you ice skate? Forward and in a straight line. No fancy stuff and never learned to go backwards.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? The Kodak Disc camera I got when I was 13.
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?Being with my family, being thankful for all God has blessed me with. (This was Catch's answer, but I wholeheartedly agree!)
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Apple pie with a topping of vanilla ice cream
16 What is your favorite holiday tradition? Singing Silent Night during the Candlelight Service on Christmas Eve; also going around to look at all the lights and decorations.
17. What tops your tree? An angel
18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving?It's always nice to receive a gift that came from the heart; but I really do enjoy giving too. I enjoy the whole process of searching through catalogs and online and in stores to find that "perfect" gift for everyone on my list.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? I really can't choose just one - I enjoy so many songs!
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yummy?Yummy!!!
Let me know if you do this on your blog so I can come by and read it!

Earlier, when I saw that Pea said she had a surprise for you, I went to her blog to see what it was cuz I'm nosey and that's so cool that you guessed the amount exactly. I was thinking: Yay, Meesh!! Congrats. Oh, also I just got my free sunsilk shampoo sample in the mail today. It's been a good week for samples and I even got a rebate check today too.
