Newlywed Game {Holiday Edition}

Newlywed Game {Holiday Edition}


I saw that one of the blog’s I love to read, Designer in Teal, had completed “The Newlywed Game: Holiday Edition” and thought it would be fun to join in on the fun. 
You can view her answers here.

Hubby’s responses in Blue
My responses in Purple

1.  Which Christmas would your spouse say was the best that you had together as a couple?
Him: Last year cause it was the first Christmas in our new house.
Her: Last year and the year before (our first two married Christmas’) 🙂 Although I have enjoyed all 8 of our Christmases together so far!

(this was us last Christmas)
(this was the hubs with the tree we picked out last Christmas, 2012, for our at that time new home)
(here we are last year’s annual tree decorating party at his grandmother’s)

2.  What would your spouse say is the weirdest, or most unique tradition that your family does at Christmas?
Him: We don’t have any weird traditions although he says we do like to “yack,” 
Her: Only thing I can think of is my hubby’s family opens gifts one at a time which I doesn’t like cause I don’t like the pressure of everyone watching me….plus it makes it awkward when the number of gits are the same

3.  It’s Christmas Day… you are looking all around and you can’t find your spouse.  Finally, you find them hiding in a closet, devouring which holiday treat??
Him: Divinity
Her: Um, probably Christmas cookies or a Christmas drink if you know what I mean 😉

4.  It’s your spouse’s turn to pick out a Christmas movie.  Naturally, they pick their favorite one.  Which is it??
Him: She’d either pick Four Christmas’ or anything on Hallmark
Her: Hm…he has lots of favorites probably Elf or Four Christmas’

5.  If your spouse had it their way… when would they put up Christmas decorations?  Right after the turkey?  Last minute?  Not at all?
Him: Right after the turkey
Her: He wants to get the tree ASAP but delays the rest as much as possible simply because he doesn’t like the work of putting up all the lights and decor 

6.  What does your spouse think is the best Christmas gift you ever gave them?
Him: A homemade jewelry box I made her (he made me this one year when we were dating and I did/do love it)
Her: Maybe this years 🙂 There have been a lot of gifts exchanged over 8 years….I don’t remember them all.

7.  Fa la la la laaaa, what is your spouse’s go-to Christmas song?
Him: Baby It’s Cold Outside 
Her: Baby It’s Cold Outside or TranSiberian Orchestra (we love to sing this together while driving or getting ready, haha)

8.  On Christmas morning, what does your spouse wish is under the tree?
Him: Lots of things to unwrap. ( I promise I’m not materialistic…He’s just saying that because I really like to unwrap things…so much so that he is sweet and even wraps my cards)  ðŸ™‚
Her: He probably wishes a new truck could fit under the tree but I think he’ll love what I got him

9.  What is one thing that your spouse absolutely has to do every year during the holidays?
Him: Look at Christmas lights
Her: watch lots of Christmas movies and eat Honey Baked Ham

10.  What was the coolest gift your spouse got at Christmas as a child?  (Hopefully they told you this at some point in your relationship… otherwise… this one will have to be a lucky guess!!)
Him: American Girl Dolls  (YES!)
Her: BMX Bike
