Whoo Hoo!

Guess what? It's snowing! I can't believe it!!!! I doubt it will stay, but still! A white Christmas! It's almost a miracle! My sister came bounding into my room, chanting "It's snowing! It's snowing!" Oh, and on Google there is this Santa tracker that has tons of games and you can send personalized letters from Santa to people! I made some for my sisters. =D Well, I'm going to go outside now. Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Louis!

Yes, it's Christmas Eve but it's also Louis' 21st birthday!

=D I hope everyone has a great Christmas!

Christmas.

Hey Everyone!
Yeah, it's 10:00 so I better make this quick.. I'm sitting in my family room, cutting fabric and watching Michael Buble's Home For the Holidays. =) We glued (with icing) our gingerbread houses together so we can finish them tomorrow and decorated gingerbread cookies. =) My are pretty crazy, and they kept falling apart, so I won't post a picture. =D Anyway, I hope that all of you who celebrate Christmas have a great one, and those of you who don't, have a Happy New Year!

quizzes.

I stole some quizzes from Laura at randocology. =D So, for the 1D quiz I am most like Louis. =)

Louis Tomlinson

You are most like Liam Tomlinson! You are the silliest of your friends. You are a master of practical jokes, and your gullible friends had better watch out. Some people can be turned off by such a loud personality, but most people fall in love with your sense of humor and energy.

It's kinda right, lln! And for the Disney Princess I'm Jasmine. I was kinda disappointed because Aurora is my favorite but whatever. =P

Jasmine

You are Jasmine from 'Aladdin'! You are adventurous, smart, and gorgeous! You have some minor trust issues to deal with, but that's to be expected given your circumstances. Open yourself up to other people, and always stick to your guns! Don't let anyone force you into doing things that make you uncomfortable. One day, it'll all work out for the best!

Haha! Anyway, that's it. Oh, and it's 9 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!! Aaaahhhh! OMG, I'm so excited!!!!!! =D And I'm entering Laura's Christmas contest. =)

Luv Yaz!

really?

I noticed Piper sorta posted about this too (over here!) Anyway, has everyone heard Gangam Style? If you have, you have my sympathy. If you haven't, I'm jealous. It's horrid.  It came up one my Pandora today. =P I listened to it, then "thumbs downed' it. =0 I took a screen shot just because I'm cool like that. =)

See? ARGH! My uncle showed me the music video. It's really funny but kinda inappropriate. I would not suggest Googling it. That's it. =)

Captions [2]

I’m sorry I didn’t get to doing this yesterday. I was putting up Christmas decorations and the trees, so I didn’t have much time. Thanks to Journey and Daylily for being the first entries! Here are their captions:

Journey:

This tree just BEGS to have presents under it.

Daylily:

Tree: I am SOO bored! I hate having roots and not being able to move!

Grass: Well, it could be worse… you could BE a board.

Tree:*silence*

Both of yours are really funny, but there can only be one winner. =( I am going with Journey because I think hers represents the Christmas theme really well. I wanted to choose both of yours, but I couldn’t. =’( I can’t wait to see your entries for this week’s picture, which is….

This is Green Bird's house, but I took the picture.

Like? Okay, I’m going to switch things up a little. Since I have a good idea for a picture, I’m posting two. You can enter in both, but you can only win one. This time there will be TWO winners, so your chance of winning will go UP! =)

 Oh, and I won’t be here on the 19^th, so you’ll have to wait for a week or so. (more on that later)

Captions!!!

Okay, so everyone else on Blogger has something for a certain day. Like, someone posts pictures or a story or something. But I don't! I know, I need to get with the program! So I'm going to try to do something on Wednesday. Scratch that. I already know what I'm going to do. CAPTIONS!! OMG, love those things! So I'm going to post a picture and you guys are going to look at it, think of something funny, cheesy, or even lame to put on it! Kay, here's the first picture:

This is in my yard. Notice how the tree looks like it's talking? (hint hint)

 

If anyone enters (just put it on your blog and leave a comment on mine) I'll post them all and then decide on a winner! I'll put the winner's picture+caption up on my sidebar until the next week! But I just need a name for it. If anyone has any ideas, please comment or email! (purplepixieblogger@gmail.com) Thank you!

Oh, and a quick announcement... I got a new laptop!! Yay! My old one broke a few months ago, so I had to use the desktops. But my Opa (German for grandfather) bought me one! It came on Monday as an early Christmas present. I guess he wanted me to enjoy it before the world ends! LOL, just kidding. The world is NOT going to end! I'm going to be coming back from an AWESOME vacation skiing and staying at a cabin. (Sorry Daylily, I can't go to your 'end of world sleepover'. =( )

That's it! Sorry for rambling so much.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

all pictures via pinterest

I looked up some facts about Thanksgiving that some of you might or might not know.

• They do not have an equivalent celebration in the UK. In the words of Erin Hunter/Vicky: "Happy Thanksgiving to my American Clanmates! We don't have an equivalent celebration here in the UK, which always seems a shame to me. I envy your pre-Christmas feasting and family get-together; plus, I love pumpkin pie and that's as rare as...a gentle word from Yellowfang?...around here."
  
•  We would NOT have Thanksgiving if it wasn't for a woman named Sarah Hale. People started ignoring Thanksgiving, and in the West (oh, this is during the Civil War time) they didn't even know what it was. =( Sarah wrote lots of letters and asked people for help to make Thanksgiving a national holiday! She also wrote the nursery rhyme, "Mary Has A Little Lamb," not that you needed to know. =)

• In 1939, President Roosevelt proclaimed that Thanksgiving would take place on November 23rd, not November 30th, as a way to spur economic growth and extend the Christmas shopping season. =) via 

 What are some other cool Thanksgiving facts that I didn't list?  Wow, that sounded really dorky. Whatever. =P

Happy Thanksgiving!
