That time of year is upon us where we give, receive, and reminisce. As we enjoy the holiday season, we thought the December Question of the Month should be reflective of that reminiscent spirit. So we ask: 

What is your favorite personal holiday story? 

It can be a story that everyone loves to re-tell each year or a holiday experience that you'd like to share. Answer our December QOTM and you'll earn a new badge for your community profile!  

I'll go first: 

My mom loved to make Christmas more interesting for us kids, so she'd write on little scraps of paper our clues for the Christmas Scavenger Hunt. We'd look everywhere and find little gifts hidden and the hunt just make it even better! One year, we had a cryptic clue and searched the entire house to only come up empty handed. We found out hours later the gift was actually in the backyard in the form of a trampoline! 
It was such a surprise and a great way to spice up the gift reveals! 

Now you go! Can't wait to see how your holiday stories spice up the season!

A lot of my favorite memories from growing up center around Santa and being real or not, listening for sounds on the roof, etc. When I was little, I think in 1st grade, my friend and I had a fool-proof way to prove if Santa really existed. We would both bring in tags from presents we had received from Santa and compare the handwriting to see if we had a match. The handwriting was different when we got to school the next day, and we thought we had it all figured out. I told my mom about our findings when I got home, and she told me "Of course they don't match, do you think Santa has time to write out all the gift tags? That's the elves job!" That quick reaction and matter-of-fact delivery kept the illusion and the Christmas magic alive for a little while longer, especially for my younger brothers as well. I'll have to keep that one in mind if my future kids try something similar when they get to that age!
