1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Hot Chocolate -- nobody has successfully convinced me to try the nog.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
I am Santa and I carefully wrap the "Santa" gifts in a well-hidden paper. The boy still wants to believe.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
I prefer the old, large colored ones, but we've bought an "instant tree" (due to laziness and my allergies) and it has white. *sigh*
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
No, that's too much like Candid Camera or the modern Punk'd to appeal.
5. When do you put your decorations up?
As late as possible, and they come down as soon as possible.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert.)
Well, potatoes mashed I like whenever I can get 'em.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child:
Falling asleep on the couch on the Eve half hypnotized by the large colored lights on Mom's tree.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
As in the case of "where babies come from" I figured it out.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
I don't, but following family tradition the kid opens new jammies.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
My "theme" is toys: I attach actual toys and toy-themed ornaments. Sometimes I put a train around the bottom.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Visit it only.
12. Can you ice skate?
I can, actually. I wish someone would go with me!
13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
My Aunt Wendy's handmade quilt. Got lost in a move.
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Creating good memories for my kid.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Pumpkin Pie.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Putting out eats for "Santa."
17. What tops your tree?
Kermit in a Santa hat (see above tree theme).
18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving?
Oh I like to receive! Am I the only one? But one year I totally nailed the giving thing and every person got stuff they didn't even know they really wanted! That was awesome...
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
I use the same ones every year. Eat them if you dare!
