1. One must participate in a gingerbread house makin' extravaganza!
*Tips for a successful evening:
-Wear your stretchy pants (no problemo for me)
-Get all your ideas online (your own are never very good anyway)
- Put equal amounts of candy in your mouth as go on your house
- Encourage your hosts when their masterpiece goes caput, and console your husband when his caves in multiple times and he emphatically exclaims that this is really no fun at all.
- Throw it all in the garbage when days later you find yourself needing just one more piece of roof before hitting the eliptical.
2. Wear your ugliest Christmas Sweater, swap ridiculous gifts, and pig out with your amigos.
* If you aren't lucky enough to get your sweater from your mother's closet, *cough, Travis*, and Goodwill is out of holiday apparel, you might just find yourself in a homemade rendition of what looks like a toilet seat rug. Since washing it would probably ruin it and spraying with Lysol might create unbearable breathing condintions... just pray that the lice have left and found more favorable living conditions.
*Always remember that no one is cooler than Bron.. .. especially when wearing a picnic basket backpack.
*And if you must give up your treasured N'SYNC paraphanelia... that's ok, just seek counseling.
*And don't forget to make a fun Christmas themed trifle!
*Your son will thank the White Elephant Guru for his new {Dentist Ball Pit}. Yes, those teeth are removable and yes, those forceps actually work.
3. Make sure to attend the best Buffalo Ward tradition to date... the ornament exchange!
*This year, we made only one ornament, then played a game to decide which one you ended up with. Wrapping your ornament extra nice will even win you nearly a pound of Fine Belgian Chocolate.
*And of course, don't go without bringing your Cherry, Chocolate Cookies!
4. Cross your fingers that the snow storm on the horizon doesn't delay or cancel your flight for tomorrow so you can move on to having a Snazzy Mesa Christmas!

holy gingerbread village. Over achievers aren't we? So, I was trying to find this so called lice infested toilet rug sweater but I couldnt find it. Are you wearing it?
I always look forward to your post but I think the Buffalo Christmas is one of my favorites. Love all the sweaters, especially Trav's. That sweater has put in a lot of miles since I got it I don't know how many years ago. I'm glad that my sons can now wear it to Ugly Sweater Parties! The goodies look wonderful, especially the chocolate cherry cookies. Those are right up my alley. Love the dentist ball pit! And the gingerbread houses! Hope you aren't delayed or postponed, we have some really nice weather for you!
What an awesome post... any chance you're willing to share that Christmas trifle recipe?
That ball pit is hilarious!
On a scale of 1-10 of how jealous I am of the taxi cab ornament I am a TEN!!
I love ugly sweater parties, and it's fun that yours had so much more to it!! I think Christmas time is so awesome because of all the fun AND spirituality that comes with it.
