As far as most romantic memory for the Holiday I met my husband at a New Years eve party where we ended up talking for several hours and after the New Years kiss that was it, we were inseparable :)Got married and had 4 great kids. :)

Most romantic holiday memory was in high school. My boyfriend took me out to dinner at The Melting Pot (fondue) and then presented me with this adorable teddy bear with a beautiful gold and diamond cross necklace on it!

My most romantic...i don't have any. Perhaps because i'm not attractive enough ^^ or too young. But the most touching is when a member of my roleplaying club came to gave me a simple white rose. I was so happy to receive something ( we gave gifts to each other but since i was the one to organise this part i'm always left out except that time)
all the best and thanks you for this great giveaway

My husband knew that I always wanted to do a tour in a horse drawn Gypsey caravan. He saved up money without telling me and then a few years later he presented me with tickets to Ireland. We spent two wonderful weeks, one meandering around in the horse-drawn caravan and one travelling aound Ireland in a hired car.
That is my best memory.

I don't have a romantic memory about myself, however I have a memory of my parents on their 30 year wedding anniversary. My dad told my mom he will always love her & gave her a red rose. Now its been 32 years & still going strong. :D

That Santa is going to give me nightmares tonight, lol.
I'm only 19 so I haven't had any great loves, but I did have one romantic holiday.
Here's the story:
I started going with my first and only boyfriend when I was 16. He was a neighbor and when we first really started talking it was winter. We spent the entire day together outside in the snow. It was fun and he was really sweet. He asked me out. As it started to get dark, it was like 7, we sat on another neighbor's porch and messed around with our old Yu-Gi-Oh cards, lol. And while we sat there he smiled at me, wrapped his arm around me, and basically told everyone including me, that I was his new girlfriend. And he was right, lol. Before I went in the house, he pulled me to him and we hugged.
We aren't together anymore and we definitely were never going to stay together for much longer than we did (which was just over a year), but despite that he was the first guy outside of family I ever cared for and whenever I think of winter romances he pops back into my mind. :)

Many Christmas days past, my now ex husband, put on Because You Loved Me, by Celine, after the kiddos went to bed. (I love her, but I listen to just about all music.)He's a rocker, and hates Celine.(no musical variations for him) We danced and ended up all natural in the living room. :) He was just the sweetest that night.
I'll never forget it.
i dont think i've really had a romantic christmas? we spend most of ours with family though and although we do celebrate other holidays we do those with the kids, even valentines day is spent with the kids. we do go out for our aniversary in feb but we dont do anything special. dinner and a movie without kids.

The most romantic would have to be the very first Christmas I spent with my Hubby....it was in our very first house...we had only been in it for 2 days....so we hadn't had much of anything unpacked, but at midnight on Christmas....Santa woke me up with a Christmas tree and a present I wanted.

I don't an overly romantic holiday memory, but there is one that I would consider memorable. It involved when my entire family was able to get toegther for the holiday and just having all the family there, singing carols and enjoiying the holiday held its own special blend of romance.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I think the most romantic thing to happen to me at Christmas is when my boyfriend gave me a first love ring for Christmas. We were looking at bowling balls and that is what I thought I was getting. The package he put the ring in was exactly 12 lbs, just the weight of the ball. I thought I knew what I was getting. I was so surprised to open the box and see a couple of bricks and then a small black jewelry box. That was ummm a lot of years ago, like in 1975. We got married in 1977.

My most romantic holiday memory has to be the first Christmas with my husband. We were so broke and lived in a one-room apartment, but we had a scraggly tree with a couple of strands of lights my mom gave me. We laid on the floor with the other lights turned out and talked until the wee hours of the night before....other stuff:) Simple, but really special!
Thanks and happy holidays!

My most romantic holiday memory has to be the year my husband proposed to me on Christmas day. He was being super secretive and I honestly had no idea what was going on. Next thing I know, he was popping out an engagement ring and asking me to marry him. Of course I said yes and now we have been married for almost 12 years. BEST HOLIDAY EVER!!!!!!
vadeluna07@yahoo.com
I'm sorry to say, I don't think I've ever had a romantic Christmas. My ex-husband wasn't really romantic! However the "sweetest" thing he probably did at Christmas was to give me The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. It showed he was paying attention, and noticed that I looked at it every time we went to the bookstore!

My most romantic memory happens every year on Christmas Eve. My hubby and I open our presents at midnight while sitting in front of the fireplace with Christmas music playing softly in the background. We have Champagne and fruit and just cuddle. We've been married 21 years now and it's still very romantic.
Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win such a great prize!

Hmmm...Most romantic memory. This guy I had only been dating a few weeks took me out and we exchanged presents. I had known him for a while, as friends, but he bought me this necklace with a heart pendent. It was one of the sweetest presents I have ever recieved! I still have it even though he is long gone :)

my most romantic holiday memory is when my boyfirend pulled me downstairs and gave me my promise ring!! We've been married seven years now :)
I don't have any romantic memories, my husband is horrible at romance. Seriously, it is awful. He has no clue, but what he is lacking in romance he makes up for in making me laugh. He is the funniest person I have ever met and keeps me laughing all day so I can't say I miss the romance :) Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

Thank you for the excellent giveaway. I hope you have a joyous and safe holiday season. Probably the most romantic holiday memory I have is my first Christmas with my ex-husband. We had just been married in November and we were stupidly young so the new hadn't worn off yet. He got me everything I asked for and we had a beautiful day.

A few days before Christmas, my boyfriend at the time proposed to me while we were riding in an horse drawn carriage and it was snowing around us. Pretty romantic. A sad memory for me though as we broke up later.
