Design Team Spotlight
Liz answered our Christmas questions this week!
1) What is your favorite holiday tradition?
We get up after a sleep in and have to wait for EVERYONE to get ready (I wasn't so impressed the year that my brother came home form England and didn't get up until 11am!). Then we sit in the lounge and I get to give out the presents. One at a time...! My mum got to do that job a few years ago when I was sick with the flu - but I've claimed it back!
2) What was your most memorable gift?
One year our car blew up on the way down to Timaru 2 days before Christmas. We had to turn back home and a friend had a car yard and kindly let us use the only car that was warranted and registered - his father's car that had been traded in. On Christmas Day another set of friends rang up and said they had bought the car for us! What a blessing that was! That car just passed another warrant this week and has done 290,000kms. Every year we wonder if it will make another one!
3) What does Christmas mean to you?
Christmas to me is about the celebration of Jesus Christ (the God/Man), coming to earth and ultimately dying on the cross to pay our sin debt. I sing the Christmas carols with great gusto as I'm grateful for His sacrifice. (I do smile when I sing Grandma got run over by a reindeer though. Who wrote that song?!!).
4) What would you love to find under the tree this year?
Mmm, this year I have nothing I need or want! I haven't even thought about it. I do like pineapple lumps and little surprise packages! I'm excited this year because my brother and his wife and my neice are coming to spend Christmas with us all. My neice is one and I haven't met her yet! So that will be a treat!
