Did you know… Most of Santa’s reindeer have male-sounding names, such as Blitzen, Comet, and Cupid. However, male reindeer shed their antlers around Christmas, so the reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh are likely not male, but female or castrati.*

This is my Friday to link up to my regular weekend meme fun! Let’s dash over to…
Each week, Hilary lists four statements with a blank for you to fill in on your own blogs. If you want to join the fun and come up with four fill in’s of your own, please email them to her at feelingbeachie@gmail.com. If she uses them, she will add you as co-host to the hop! This week’s co-host is Jen from What Would Jen Do. She came up with the last two statements.
Hilary would LOVE it if you could please help her spread the word about this hop…. So, please tweet, FaceBook share, and add the linky to your post!
My Answers…
1) All snuggled in the living room with the Christmas lights and my New England village illuminating its warm, cheery glow across the wall, with snow flakes dancing quietly to the ground while we watch movies in our cozy sweats without a worry. This is my ideal winter night.
2) I don’t remember the last time I did….see, it’s been so long I forgot, but, if I could remember I’m sure I’d really want to do it again.
3) I will never turn down chocolate, Lake Champlain chocolates! Ooo, to die for chocolates!!
4) To save money I like to buy clothing only when it’s on sale, usually at the end of a season when I can get stuff dirt cheap. I also like using coupons in the grocery store and online whenever possible. I’m not a big couponer, but will use only the ones on brands I normally buy.

those chocolates look great!
Hi – We were paired up thru Patrice. I just wanted to let you know I mailed out your card yesterday. I hope your having a good weekend.
I never had those chocolates, but they look delicious!
interesting reindeer fact: what if we are celebrating Christmas at the wrong time? maybe it’s supposed to be in summer?
I think everyone agrees that snuggling in on winter’s night is the best thing ever.
Another chocolate lover… who can ever have enough??? I could never go on a diet… I wouldn’t want to deprive myself.
Thanks for the visit.
Following you now.
Hmmm you too? On the chocolate?
I am positive it is an essential food group.
I prefer a wood burning fireplace…ours is but has gas logs in it and it makes so much noise when the pilot light is on that I can’t stand it. I’d like to take the lags out and install a starter. We did that in a couple of our houses. Then I could just put one of the duraflame logs in, light it, turn off the starter and add a log if I needed to or not, just burn the paper one….
I’m not a shoe person I’m afraid, just something comfortable for me.
