My Christmas Q & A

Okay, so I stole this from Carol, who got it from a couple of people so if you like you can steal it from me :)

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?

I like both but I prefer hot chocolate, or hot apple cider :)

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?

Both!! The ones in the stockings are always wrapped and the ones sitting out are not.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?

I like white ones and the hubster likes colors so we alternate each year.

4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Nope, never have.

5. When do you put up your decorations?

Usually after Thanksgiving

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?

My mom's home made sweet potato casserole. She alternates slices of sweet potatoes and pecans, syrup, and a sugar concoction, and they are to die for!!!

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?

Getting to be the one to decorate the tree, and baking Christmas cookies just for Santa with my mom.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?

I think I was seven and we had just come home from the mall from seeing Santa, and I asked my mom how he would know where we lived and how he would get in since we didn't have a fireplace. She just froze and couldn't answer me quick enough. :)

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?

When I was younger we would go to my grandma's and do that but since she passed away we do everything on Christmas. That means 4 families now on one day--me and my hubby and child, my parents, and his parents (they are divorced so that is two houses for him)

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?

Colored lights or white lights and snowmen, snowmen, and more snowmen. Plus bows, and other ornaments I have collected throughout the years.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?

Well, since I live in the South I never get to see any so I love the way it looks but I would not want to deal with it day in and day out.

12. Can you ice skate?

Somewhat

13. Do you remember your favorite gift?

My favorite childhood one would have to be one year I got all kind of Strawberry Shortcake stuff and an Easy Bake oven, and as an adult these silver hoop earrings from my dad.

14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?

First of all it would have to be Christ's birth because we wouldn't have Christmas without that, and secondly would be seeing the joy in my child's eyes at all the holiday things! Oh and baking!

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?

My mom's sweet potato pie, and her homemade coconut cake.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?

Reading the Christmas story on Christmas Eve with my family.

17. What tops your tree?

A big garnet colored bow that has 4 long streamers coming off of it down the sides of the tree.

18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving?

I always enjoy giving alot more than getting. Especially now that I am a mom.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?

Oh holy night

20. Candy Canes?

Definitely!! I love the cinnamon flavored ones the best :)
