Well, things have been super busy lately. But I thought I would join in on the fun around the blog world and answer some questions about Holiday traditions.
- Eggnog or Hot Chocolate?
- Hot Chocolate - Eggnog is a little too rich for me. But Wally decided that he like it this year!
- Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
- Some unwrapped and some wrapped.
- Colored lights on tree/house or white?
- Colored lights for both when we were growing up. Now colored on the tree and white for on the house.
- Do you hang mistletoe?
- I never have, probably never will.
- When do you hang up decorations?
- Start bringing stuff out the day of Thanksgiving :)
- What is you favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
- Acorn squash with apples
- Favorite holiday memory as a child?
- Being able to unwrap on present Christmas eve (always PJ's) and going to a campfire.
- What is on your christmas wish list?
- My big gift I am asking for this year is snow shoes. I have pretty much everything I need and since we are in a rental home we don't have a ton of room for extra STUFF.
- Do you open gifts on Christmas eve?
- As kids we did, but as I mentioned earlier it was also PJ's. It is something that I would like to continue with my children even if there isn't a bonfire/party to go to.
- How do you decorate your tree?
- Lights go on first then the ornaments. This year we have a Christmas tree decorating party, sort of. We had friends from out of town here and we all decorated it together. It was a nice change.
- Snow? Love it or Dread it?
- Love it! I'm DREAMING of a WHITE Christmas.
- Real tree or Fake?
- Real one. The fake ones look nice and last longer. But; A) aren't good for the environment (tons of plastic) and B) don't smell like Christmas.
- Do you remember your favorite gift?
- I must say, I probably have on the the worst memories or anyone I know. I am sure I got some great presents over the years but I don't know if I have a favorite. I do love my new pillow I got last year.
- Favorite holiday dessert?
- Cookies - All kinds - I'm not picky.
- What is the most important thing about Christmas for you?
- Spending time with family.
- What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
- I can't say that I have one favorite tradition.
- What tops your tree?
- Growing up we had an Angel, however Wally and I now have a Star
- Do you prefer giving or receiving?
- Both obviously. I love when I think I have found a great gift that the person will love and didn't ask for.
- What is your favorite Christmas song?
- My new favorite song is the 12 Days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser.
- Candy Canes? yuck or yum?
- Love them. But I love almost All candy.
- Favority Christmas movie?
- Miracle on 34th Street
- What do you leave for Santa?
- Milk and Cookies, and Carrots for the Reindeer.
- Do you have a Christmas morning tradition?
- We were allowed to go through our stockings and play with the "Santa" gifts, before waking up our parents.
- Do you prefer to shop on-line or at the mall?
- Times are a changing... I used to be a mall shopper however it seems as though the gifts I want to give now a days are harder to come by and this year I did a lot of my shopping online, thanks to free shipping. Also www.ebates.com is a great site where you can get a % of money back that you spent.
- Christmas letter or card?
- Christmas card. However my mom has been writing letters to go inside the card for as long as I can remember.
