Med/Coarse, porous curly.
my father's parents never gave us gifts for xmas - that day was reserved for church and eating.
gifts were given out for St. Nicholas Day (December 6 or the 19th on the Orthodox calendar). it's an older European traditions that is still followed, especially in countries were religion was suppressed for decades under communist rule. in Scandinavian countries, gifts are exchanged on St. Lucia's Day (December 13), again leaving xmas for church and feasting.
Hanukkah and Kwanzaa both have gift giving traditions over multiple days.

And I hope whoever gets my name doesn't worry that she will buy or send the 'wrong' thing.

It doesn't matter what we call it, it's a winter gift exchange, meant to be fun. Let's please stop arguing about it, it's ruining the fun.
And I wouldn't be offended by any gift I got, if it was sent with love.
3b/c/a mix. medium texture, low porosity

But I will always say what I think. And I think we need to just relax and quit worrying that some person somewhere someday might roll their eyes because someone sent them a card that had the word Christmas on it.
You all are allowed your opinion on the matter and I'm allowed mine. And that is/was my point.

My bathroom is ocean colors (soft greens, blues, and taupe) with beachy accessories. My bedroom is a color called mulled cider, but it reminds me more of pumpkin pie...a brownish orange. It doesn't really have a theme, though I have mission style furniture.

bedroom is lavender and blue
bathroom is white and blue with some dark purple
We celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday as well as full blown family party with too much wine, food and gifts. We have a pagan tree and we do talk about other belief systems as well. We are very open-minded and like Santa and his elves (except for Elf on the Shelf who is CREEPY!!!) and his raindeer.
I am easy to please, really. Unless it's an ugly Christmas sweater and then I would put you on the naughty list!!! But ugly Christmas socks are definitely permissible! Did I mention I love wool???
My only requirements are silver and purple.
