For Friday, 12/12, let's do a group challenge - our own "12 Gratitudes of Christmas". Think of something you're grateful for that comes in pairs, or 3s, or 4s, etc. and post it below. I'll come back and edit this post to fill in people's answers, and we'll see if together we can get something for each number.

1 - star / baby
2 - eyes
3 - holidays off work this season
4 - Stockings on slo's mantle
5 - National Parks in Utah
6 - Christmas plants
7 - Christmas movies w/Muppets
8 - candles/nights of Hannukah
9 - Beethoven symphonies
10 - Digits in math
11 - Pipers piping
12 - eggs in a carton

 

[PollyannaMom]

Starting off with an easy one - eggs, often sold in 12s, are something I'm grateful for because my family eats a lot of them.

Happy Friday Friends!

This is fun Poly!

I could list a lot, but I don’t want to take away from others, so I’ll choose….

4 Christmas Stockings hanging on our fireplace mantle (one for me, DH, DD22 and Otis the puppy)

This is fun Poly!

Thanks!

I did the same, but definitely feel free to come back later in the day if you have time and see if there are any gaps that still need filling!

2 - eyes - like the eyes of those we love. I cannot wait to look into my daughter's beautiful green eyes when she comes home for Christmas.

I know it's technically a Christmas list, but as a child of parents with two different religions, my holiday season has always involved Hanukkah and Christmas.

I could do either EIGHT/8 for the number of nights and candles that officially get lit on a menorah ~OR~ NINE/9 for the number of total candles on a proper Hanukkah menorah (the one in the center or elevated is called the Shammas/Shamash and it's used to light the others). It's the helper candle which makes it nine.

12 days of Christmas movies !!!

but since Eggs hold that spot …….i will go with 5 as the number of people always at my table for holiday meals

Evening all,

I'll go with 3 - the number of bank holidays we have off over the Christmas and New Year period. Who can complain about 3 extra (free) days off work?! Although I do feel bad for those that this doesn't apply to, sorry

 

[PollyannaMom]

I know it's technically a Christmas list

The inspiration may come from a Christmas song, but all gratitude counts! - Other religions, everyday things... it's all fair game.

Someone got to 5 before you as well - any more creativity??
