You are welcome, Kathy!
Amanda! Girl, you are so bad! LOL
ANYONE WANT TO PLAY A GAME LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR?
I am up for a game!
Now Amanda, you need to remember that Santa is watching you!
Sure I wasn't in on this last year, but I like games. What do you have in mind?
Oh My dose this mean Amandas is getting coal in her stocking ?
Who dose not like xmas Games :)
anyone Know what the candy cane of xmas Stands for ???
Probably..its ok i have a fireplace and 2 naughty boys i can pass it on to hahaha
Susie my answer is....Cialis
So sorry Take another guess :) & Your little tykes Just take after their Mischiefious (ms) Mother right :) ??
Candy canes represent the shepherds crook?
Close LK but Guess again :) got to lay back soon BB For coffee In the morning
The Christmas Candy Cane is a wonderful Christian Christmas symbol. The pure white symbolizes the purity of the Virgin Birth and the sinlessness of Christ. The rock-hardness symbolizes Christ the solid rock, the sure foundation of the believer. The "J" stands for JESUS the Savior, the name which is above every name. The three stripes symbolize the whipping that Jesus took as payment for our sins and the broad stripe His shed blood for our sins on the Cross.
Who knew?
WINNER LK Now we will Pass the Cane Onto you to come up with a Puzzle :))))) to many candy Mints can't fall asleep:)
Look at you girls! Taking the initiative to start the games without me! Some of my kids and my sister sure could learn something from y'all.
One year a student of mine gave me a candy cane with that story on it. Even though I taught high school, my students always got treats on holidays! never too old for a treat! And many of them gave me gifts. They knew I collected frogs, so I have quite a few stuffed frogs, frog paintings, frog mugs and glasses, and even a frog pinata that they gave me!
Ok, Linda Kay, I'll have to get some prizes since you guessed the first question. And you may post the next question or I will if you want.
Amanda, be good! Santa is watching!
everyone have a good night! ♥
What state was the first to recognize Christmas as an official holiday. This tradition began in 1836.
I know, but I can't play because I'm the one sending prizes! LOL
LOL! Are we sending answers to someone and drawing a name, or do we answer here?
Alabama
Let's do the answers by DMAIL.
SEND YOUR ANSWER TO THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE QUESTION.
SHE WILL DRAW A NAME AFTER 24 HOURS FROM POSTING THE QUESTION.
IF YOU WIN, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR POSTING THE NEXT QUESTION.
NOTE: ONCE YOU WIN, YOU MAY STILL PLAY THE GAME, BUT YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANOTHER PRIZE!
How's that, Linda Kay? If Katgroves is right, you may go ahead and post that she's the winner!
I will start sending out prizes next week!
She is correct. So she will post the next question.
Katgroves, you got it right! Please post the next question. :)
Winners:
Linda Kay
Kathy
I didn't realize the question Susie posted was part of the game lol. I must have missed something! So I guess it has officially started. Better pay attention ladies!
Badcat, that elf and cookie is really funny!!!!!
Lordy,
Getting ready for buffalo
Of course who had to put Christmas swap box in the car so she wouldn't forget it?
Took a terrible fall down the staircase because of ice/snow
Same person is now opening same box to see what didn't make the 6 foot toss when falling?
Grrrr
Geez, Betty. Not so worried about box as hoping nothing on YOU broke or bruised.
Just checked the box, cannot believe all is in tact so able to post
Worse hit was my head that actually broke a rung out of the railing, bruised, headache but nothing broken
Girls I'm travelling with for Christmas shopping said they would keep close eye out incase of concussion!
Glad to hear you have company, but you should stay home.
