Gimme 5

This was started a long time ago (I think by Auntie Mistletoe).

Rules: None really, one person asks a question and then the next person answers with 5 answers (and then asks another question.

For example:
The first player asks:
Gimme 5 of your favourite Christmas carols

The next person answers
1 - Rudolf the red nosed reindeer
2 - Winter wonderland
3 - The first Noel
4 - Hark the heral angels sing
5 - Jingle Bells
Then asks - Gimme 5 ???


OK I will ask first:

Gimme 5 of your best Christmas memories

:scene: Really. HaHa.

Okay here goes 5 times I've had a Christmas dream ...

Lastnight

The night before

Two weeks before that

Five weeks before that

And when I went back to sleep it almost jumped into the place I left off, but still counts as a new dream

:elf: The best was about two years ago. When I was spending so much time on the forums, CAY was at the old address - Christmas.com hadn't closed it's doors yet and I had a dream that an Elf jumped off my computer screen and was really tiny and was running all over the place and I was trying to catch him to place back on the computer screen before O'Malley the cat could catch him.

Sometimes I dream that I'm buying presents or wrapping them - sometimes I dream I'm looking for my lost wind-up musical reindeer.

I dream about Christmas at least once a month. Sometimes it's just a Christmas song playing in the background and then muffled voices sharing Christmas memories and the more I strain to hear the conversations, the louder the music gets and then I wake up.

:scene: Gimme 5 of your best places to hide presents so they aren't discovered by accident
