Christmas Questions!!

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Egg nog?!!? Ewww!! Hot cocoa all the way! Especially hazelnut...yum!!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa wraps his gifts because otherwise I'll search the whole house for my gifts. I'm not very good at waiting!

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I think the white lights just look so classy! We have the white icicle lights outside our house.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No.

5. When do you put up your decorations? The day after Thanksgiving. It'd be earlier but Sam will only get the boxes out of the sheds on Thanksgiving Day. So I usually spend all day on Friday, while Sam's at work, decorating our house. I'm sure Sam would rather I do that than spend money! :)

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Gosh, I don't have just one. I love the hot, fresh, moist turkey, pumpkin pie, homemade rolls....I LOVE IT ALL!!

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? I remember one year all of us kids started saying that Santa wasn't real. So on Christmas Eve while we were all sleeping, my Dad put his boot in the ashes of our fireplace and then placed footprints all the way up the inside of the chimney. When we awoke, we saw Santa's footprints. We HAD to believe in Santa after that!

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but even now on Christmas Day I secretly hope that Santa does exists and that I'll have more gifts waiting for me when we wake up.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No! Sam is such a Scrooge! He won't let me open any gifts at all on Christmas Eve! Bah hum bug!

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? When Sam and I first got married, my Grandpa gave me all of his 1940's red ball ornaments (I'm sure they're full of lead paint!). So I bought some accenting silver ornaments and now our tree is decorated in silver and red.

12. Can you ice skate? Nope! I'm pretty clumsy.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? A few years ago, Sam bought me my KitchenAid mixer and I LOVE it! He told me that he had selfish purposes in buying it.....he'd get home cooked food out of it! I use my KitchenAid all the time!

14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Seeing all our family members that we usually don't get to see. Plus, the gifts I get....duh! :)

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Pumpkin Swirl Bread...Sam's favorite (pumpkin bread with a cream cheese mixture in the middle)

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Once we finally do put our Christmas tree up, Sam will turn on our Christmas lights, put Christmas music on, and he'll turn off all the other lights in the house, and Sam will slow dance with me in the light of the Christmas tree! It's one of my FAVORITE things!!

17. What tops your tree? A silver glittery star (it matches our garland!)

18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? I agree with Amanda, it's fun to do both. I like to go shopping and buy things that I think people will like. But it's also fun to get stuff!!

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? I LOVE ALL OF THEM!!! Our FAVORITE Christmas song is called "Green the Whole Year Round" by Celtic Woman. It's SUCH a good song, but you can only hear it on YouTube!

20. Candy Canes? They're pretty sticky...but they're good to crush up and put in brownies and other things.

21. Do you feel Christmas is too commercialized? Yeah, but it's still fun!

I want to hear all of your responses now!!!
