Christine and Amy did this, so of course I had to, too!
Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
I dont particularly care for either, unless theyve been spiked...too rich for me :) Otherwise i would prefer a hot buttered rum!
Does Santa wrap presents or set them under the tree?
It used to be both...but now he just places his gifts under the tree unwrapped ;)
Colored lights on tree or white?
i like both, but i purchased new lights this year that look like colored gum balls :)
When do you put your decorations up?
usually December 1st...if im going to go thru the effort, i want to enjoy them all month!
What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Lasagna
Favorite Holiday memory as a child:
Every year my grandma and grandpa would spend the night and my sisters and i would all sleep in the same room. we would be up half the night giggling and whispering...with numerous threats coming from my dad down the hall. I dont think he minded much though, as we always left out beer and cookies for Santa! In the morning we had to make sure the parents and grandparents were up (and in position) before we could go into the living room(which usually meant us hanging out in mom and dads room jumping on their king size bed :) weeeeee!
i just thought of another one...
wrapping gifts, my mom would make me wrap them...she would tape the boxes shut, write a name on it and slide it over to me to wrap. She kept coming out of her bedroom with more and more boxes. Then she would recycle the boxes every year, so there would be a name crossed out with a new name written below. Over the years, we would laugh at how many names were on a box...in fact i have one saved that was used about 6 times :)
When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I guess at some point you become more "aware" of Santa, but i never stopped believing...thats the magic of Christmas after all :)
Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
My sisters and i each got to open one gift...however now we spend it with Justin's family...so we open gifts from each other there...and then do our own family Christmas here on Christmas morning.
How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
well since i have a 2 1/2 year old...we decorate it with child proof ornaments...in a few years ill get the fancier ones out ;)
Snow! Love it or Dread it?
LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! I grew up in LA, so the snow is still magical to me! In fact, its just not Christmas if there isnt white stuff everywhere!
Can you ice skate?
Yes, but i suck at it
Do you remember your favorite gift?
I dont know if i have a favorite memory of a particular gift...though last years big screen plasma tv is still in my mind!
What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Spending time with family and friends, without a lot of time in the car! :)
What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
I usually skip the dessert, which is hilarious since i make fudge every year. Im a salt lover, not a sweet lover!
What is your favorite tradition?
Well, since my daughter is only 2 1/2...we are still creating our own family traditions...but as a kid i loved watching the christmas specials on tv. My mom would mark them in the tv guide so we wouldnt miss them...then my dad would make the worlds biggest bag of popcorn, served in a paper bag that was stained thru with butter. We would all gather around and watch with excitement as Rudolph escaped the clutches of the abominable snow man and be chosen to lead Santas sleigh!
Which do you prefer, Giving or Receiving?
I love to give...not that receiving isnt nice...but i really do love to make and give gifts to others.
What is your favorite Christmas Song?
The Christmas Song!
Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
Dont really eat them...but i dont think theyre yuckie...those cherry flavored ones are pretty good though!
Ever recycled a Christmas present?
Yes...but only because i already had it, and figured it was easier than returning it to the store :) (is that so wrong? :)
Go forth and meme :)
