Favorite Christmas

The title says it all. This Christmas has been my favorite ever, After weeks of stress, worrying about my sister and Brady being away, everyone sick, not having money... We had a Christmas filled with family, fun, Christmas spirit, and remembering what Christmas is really about. The morning of Christmas Eve as I was getting ready for work at 6 in the morning I had a knock on my bedroom door and it was my sister Madi and my brother in law Brady. They drove all night from California to suprise us for Christmas! I was so happy and so so suprised! I was so worried about them being away for Christmas and we all had so much fun!! On Christmas eve we had a big dinner, we played games for prizes ( this year it was gift cards) and watched movies together and we made our basement into one big bedroom and then opened our presents at 4 in the morning. Everyone loved their gifts and it was really cool to be able to have Brady be with us this year. Even though him and Madi are not married yet he feels so much like a member of the family already and we love having him in our family. I have never felt the spirit of Christmas so much and have experiences in the past 2 weeks that I have done for others and others have done for me to remind me of what Christmas is all about. This Christmas was a very humbling one for me and one that I will never forget.

Most awesome presents:

Meagen: Brand new camera
Madi and Brady: A ton of stuff for the baby and my parents bringing them home for Christmas to suprise Meagen and I
Mom: Her blog book
Dad: Lights for fish tank and X box messenger kit
Me: laptop
Meagen and I...... drum roll please......... A TRIP TO DISNEYLAND IN MARCH!!!!!

Mickey Mouse here we come!!

( And so will a post about the story of the Disneyland trip and how they wrapped that present =).. complete with pictures. you dont want to miss this.)

How did Holli spend her Friday?

This.

This is what I did littearly ALL Friday. I spent it laying on the love sack in my basement sleeping. The only time I got up was to eat dinner, and I couldn't even keep my eyes open while eating.I am a very light sleeper someone can whiper my name, the first sound of my phone beeping, the opening of my door will wake me up. Not today. People were playing the Wii, talking, walking around me all day and I slept like a baby through the entire day. And yes my dog Marley was there to join me. Not even the sound of people laughing at me and taking my picture didn't even wake me up! Why did I sleep all day? Becuase I had been up for just around 46 hours straight, and I am pretty sure I either have cought my moms phenomia or strep throat. Something really sucky. But Marley took care of me all day, and let me cuddle him while I was sleeping my day away on my love sack. And yes I am aware of how rotten I look in that picture. Hair not done on top of my head, no make up, in pajamas..but apparently someone wanted me to blog about my day of sleeping and include a picture.

**Side note: Stay tuned for posts about my Awesome Christmas.. includes pictures! I had such an awesome Christmas this year, and I hope all my bloggy friends and my blog stalkers did too!

Dear Santa,

This Christmas I would like a boy. I do not want to die alone. I have tried the whole " Focus on you... Take care of yourself...Let your heart take a break becuase I don't think it can take anymore... Just have fun and be you with no boys" thing. Hasn't worked out for me. I am not any happier. And now I just get the feeling that I am going to die alone. I do not wish to die alone. So Santa all I ask for this Christmas is a boy.

When you go to your little elvs and ask them to make Holli ( Who is on the nice list) for a boy please let them know these things:


I do not wish for this boy to be lazy. I do not wish for someone who the only thing they get up to do is to go smoke pot, and play with trucks and tires. No thank you. This boy must have a job and get off his ass and do something with his life.


I do not wish for this boy to have anger issues. I do not want someone to one day me be the love of his life and then the next he wants nothing to do with me. I do not want someone who thinks the world revolves around them, and they can do anything such as stomp on my little heart and pretend its okay. Been there. Done that. Have the horrible depressing memories. Agian, No thank you.



Please tell your elvs to make this boy cute. And nice. And make him be a gentlemen. I don't think I am asking a whole lot here am I? I just want a boy who will put up with my whinning and will take care of me. Please make this boy care enough about me that when he decides he is ready to be married and purposes that he does not tell me 6 months later that he doesn't really want to be married to me and he was just thinking he didn't want to be alone the rest of his life. ( True story) Also.. Real quick santa.. please for Christmas let that boy know that he probably will be anyway. Becuase he sucks. Boo to him.



Please make me a boy that if we ever break up that he can be nice to me and not play games with me and be a moody jerk and think that everything is about him and him only. Let him be man enough to be cordial to me, and not act like we are in Jr. high agian.



I would like this boy to be cute, smart, and a hard worker. Someone who has goals and wants to do something with his life. I would like a boy who can make me laugh until I cry and can have a serious conversation with me.A boy who will treat me like a princess becuase every girl deserves to be treated like a princess. Someone who will love my family as much as he loves me and will never allow his family to treat me like dirt. Oh also. He must love baseball and college football. If your elvs make someone who does not know a thing about either of those please throw him in the FAIL bucket.



I don't think I am asking to much here Santa. I think you could work it out for me. Just one more thing Santa.. If you could work it out so when I first see this boy he is holding a brand new laptop for me.. that would be great. Thanks Santa. Ill be sure to leave you a cookie.. or something. I don't think we have cookies ... Could I offer you a bottle of ketchup.. or maybe a nice can of beans for your food storage?

Uhh Retarted Much?..

Okay. If you are going to take the time to push your cart over to the car holder thing.... why don't you take the time to put it IN THE CART HOLDER THING?? Instead of just setting it next to it. I don't get it!? Who does that!?

Holli the Builder

(Like Bob the Builder..Get it..? Ha.)

Monday night was the Hampton Inn Christmas Party. Every year we have dinner then we do a raffel where every employee gets a gift. There is gifts from free nights stays at different hotels to mens underwear. I really did not want to go this year. My mom was not going becuase she is still really sick with Phenomia. Meagen could not go with me becuase she was sick. Do I have any boys or friends to call and say " Hey!? Wanna be my date to my Christmas Party?" No.. I don't. I think that is why I was in such a bad mood becuase frankly I had no intrest in being around anyone from work anymore then I had to, and I never have a Date to this Christmas party like everyone else does. ( Yes I know. Boo Hoo Holli.).... So where was I... Oh yes. Bad mood. So I came home from work and my dad said that he was going to take me to the Christmas Party. I Know... How sweet is my dad? Daddy Daughter Date!

So when we got to the party of course nothing was set up or ready ( Hampton Party Tradition) And it started 45 minutes late. So as my Dad and I were sitting in our traditional table in the very back corner in the room away from everyone waiting for my friend Brendon and his date to come in and be Back Row Bettys with us I went to show him the gift that I REALLY wanted to win.

Now.. This gift has been at the Hotel for about 2 weeks now. We had a few of them and we gave them to some of our Corporate Clients for Christmas Gifts. The first time I saw it I let EVERYONE know that if they won it at the party I would trade ANYTHING for it. I wanted it SO bad!!! But there was also someone else who wanted it.. Cough... Emily.. Cough

Are you ready for this?

Its a Took Kit... thats PINK!!!... I know right? How awesome is that? Not that I know what any of the tools are or how to use them and lets face it.. what the hell would I use a tool kit for besides leaving it in my car in case something ever happened.... I would have something to give to the poor sucker I roped in the helping me try and fix my car but... its PINK!!

So we ate dinner and then the raffle started. We got are tickets with the number and they give the first gift out. Then they pick up the second gift to give away and my boss says " This next gift is a gift that a few people have caused a stir about... holli......" Everyone looked over to me and of course I wasn't paying attention.. Then he said Pink Tool Kit and my head went straight to him...Hehe. So he called out the number 309.. I looked at my ticket and litteraly yelled " SHUT UP!!!" Everyone started laughing at me but I didn't care becuase I won the damn Took Kit! I never win ANYTHING! Yay for me!!

There was a certain someone cough.. emily... cough who tried trading her Tucanos Gift Certificate for my Tool Kit... Sorry Emily but that wasn't a good idea to offer that to a vegitarian..

I don't have a "Holli Card"

( First of all lets start out by giving the worst Blogger of the Month Award.. And the award goes to .. ME!!!.. Sorry to all my bloggy friends and to all my blog stalkers.. You know who you are.)

This past Saturday was my department Christmas Party that I was in charge of. Lets just say that I have never ran around like a chicken with its head cut off more then I did on Saturday. Good Lord. And also I have never recieved so many phone calls or text messages in one day from all the people who were coming things like that. I always complain about how no one ever calls or texts me. Well.. I think I'll stick with being a loser.

The party was really fun. It was well worth the stress that made my stress level go to about heartattack status. I think everyone had a lot of fun, and everyone who did not come deffinitly missed out. Everyone had a good time, got awesome food if I do say so myself, and in my opinion made off like bandits.

The gift bags that I put together had really cool stuff in it such as a hand made book made by Meagen and I, A bottle of Sparkling cider, a Chocolate Orange, a Holiday Mug, Lots of Candy, Also Thanks to my Dad he made home made Cheesecakes for everyone!

We played games for really good prizes such as a cocoa late machine, blankets ( which I won Sweet!), a Rock Fountin and some other things I don't remember Haha. We played Christmas Bingo, Christmas Movie and Songs Trivia, A Santa hat game and Apples to Apples.. And to make this a short description one person puts down a describing card with A word on it such as " Clueless" and then everyone else puts down a card that they think goes best with that describing card.. Apparently everyone has caught on that I am not the sharpest crayon in the box becuase eevry single card like that atleast one person would say " Well I don't have a Holli Card".. Pick on Holli Christmas Party =(

This is what they described as my personality .....Not funny.
And I hope not true.

( Just kidding everyone.. I don't mind teasing I promise)

Here are some pictures from the night. Thank you everyone who came and a big thank you to Meagen for letting us take over your condo for the night to have our party. Ps.. I don't know why some of the pictures are coming out small. Apologies.

Oh the first picture here I need to explain just so people don't think I am licking some rotten thing.. Well kind of I am.. We had a chocolate fountain that night and we had a bowl of white and dark chocolate mixed together that we didn't use and it hardend with a fork in it and it became a choco pop.. And that is what I am licking =) Hehe
