It's December Now!

I admit, this time I was not "officially" tagged but Amanda said..."and anyone else who wants to join in!" Well, that's me...I want to join in.

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate, for sure...I don't think I've ever even been brave enough to try Egg Nog. Eew!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa is too busy to wrap if you ask me.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? White.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? Only the fake stuff...isn't the real kind poisionous?

5. When do you put your decorations up? Jason likes for it to be the first weekend in December...or maybe the 2nd weekend after Thanksgiving? Either way, they're not up yet.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? I love a sweet potato dish (if it's done right) or maybe a green bean casserole. Mmmmm.

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? Gosh, there's so many...I do like the tradition we had of all the sisters sleeping in the same room.

8. How and when did you learn the truth about Santa? Can't say for sure but I remember my best friend's oldest sister having something to do with it.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Just one. As a kid it was one from my dad.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Well, I don't do lights myself so I watch while those go up and then hang some ornaments. We always start with our special ornament of the year.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? I'll just say "like it" but I do like a white Christmas. Living in Colorado it's easy to tire of the snow.

12. Can you ice skate? Yup...I even took lessons as a wee girl.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Not my favorite gift as a child...recently I'd have to say my Palm Pilot.

14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Family and traditions.

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? Pecan pie if it's there...Hate pumpkin pie.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Picking out the new ornaments for that year and adding to my nutcracker collection with something special too.

17. What tops your tree? Always been a star, I think.

18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? Most definitely giving.

19. What is your favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night...if it's done by the right person it can give me chills.
