Will miss troubleshooting Martha Stewart recipes with Mom this year. Who knew you have to take rosemary off the stick!?! @mbaconsultant

XMAS: Up @ 6:30 AM in pjs w/ my sisters at the top of the stairs...waiting, waiting, waiting....for my dad to charge the video camera @bsaurus

Cut a tree from yard. Turns out a deer had peed on it. Once inside - stunk up the house, cats went crazy & all needles fell off. @mjindrich

Vacuuming house was childhood chore. Xmas a.m. opened "big present" - new vacuum. Lesson: Appliance gifts never good for kids/wives @ericgohs

Worst holiday gift idea: year's supply of Strivectin-SD Stretch Mark cream. From your MOTHER. #bvhs #fail @cswanger

I am looking forward to my best Christmas - A Christmas being a daddy to my new baby boy Oliver. Nothing is more special than family @MJLawson1

Around midnight. Making muddy hoof prints on the porch with sculpted potato. Door opens. 7 yr old daughter, "What are you doing dad?" @bkwalker

Favorite holiday moment of being a vegetarian: Aunt pulls bird out of oven, remarks "Oh! There were plastic bags of guts in there?" @SparkerPants

Decided to fly out of IAH(to xmas in Singapore-fam had just moved there) so I could visit grandma. Left my passport in my Austin dorm @salaciousP

My family STILL doesn't tell me what gifts they got for each other because when i was 7 i told my sister what santa was bringing her @averill

My mother gave a blanket to my sister. Told she made it. Quickly after examining it she discovered the Martha Stewart tag. We all LOL @chrisjlee

The neighborhood kids knew she'd be alone. Even Santa wouldn't visit. They baked, bought, tied bows and knocked. Now she carols too. @Ed

holiday 1999 in NYC for photoshoot. Flew in family. Stayed at Waldorf. Skated on pond. Saw the Rockettes. Froze on the circle line @debdef

Last year my niece made it downstairs before the rest of the kids and opened EVERYONE's presents! GUILTY! @ChrisConcannon

Off to the craft store in order to make my tacky holiday sweater for bunko. Holiday sweaters are good for one thing - a laugh @jennlgamble

Family xmas traditions - carols, gifts, food. Mom-in-law joined fam in '07. Lost her to cancer in '08. Merry xmas, Patti! Miss you! @skohottentot

Saw camels in a pasture on my way home to Wichita Falls for Christmas last year. @catdavis

First time I remember seeing Santa he came walking out of the desert. Had to get him a chair & was very scared of him @sofiatweet

I just got the best present for Christmas this year. Looking forward to starting my new job at BazaarVoice in the new year. @Jason_S_Smith

Caught my 7-year-old brother's opened presents under the tree b4 christmas one year b/c his re-wrapping technique was atrocious @Aenders

4-yr-old me was woke at Midnight Xmas eve to view Santa assembling train set. MAGICAL! Years later found out it was 18-yr old brother. @thomsinger

Waking Xmas Eve out of a sound sleep to hear Carolers singing nearby. Looked out the window to see big snowflakes falling-like a dream @ccastrillon

Each year I gave my kids new pajamas on Xmas eve. They never knew it was just costuming for their parts in our xmas morning home video @JaneeGib

Growing up, my grandpa hung envelopes w/our names on it on XMAS tree. Inside was $2 bill. When I see one now, I think of him. Miss u. @ATXfoodnews

This will be my first Christmas as a newlywed, or it would be if I had gotten married in the last year. So 24th Xmas w/my delusions @Intrepid_Intern

Thought I'd totally scored when mom told me 'about Santa' She said "Your Uncle is Santa" trying to break it gently. Bad way to put it. @ekmedia

A couple of years ago, my wife and I found out we were having twins on Christmas Eve. Wow! What a surprise Santa brought that year! @twindadjoe

Dad was sick & jobless but on christmas eve we opened our door to find groceries & gifts. i'll never forget the meaning of gratitude. @Lykodromio

On Chrismas 3yearold sis takes fave doll & wraps her in paper bag. mom opens gift & tears up -her 1st doll & childhood wish come true. @TheRedCloak

Jewish family friends invited us to Hanukkah dinner. My 4yo sister (born in Jan) tried to blow out the menorah. Happy birthday Sophie! @txTDM
