1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? I've never attempted to try Egg Nog, it disgusts me just thinking about it. Hot Chocolate for sure!
2. Does Santa wrap the presents or just set them under the tree? When we were younger, they were always unwrapped, but about 10 years ago or so he started wrapping them. :)
3. Colored or white lights on the tree/house? Definitely White.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No
5. When do you put up your decorations? This depends from year to year. Last year, we had so much going on, they never went up. We always skip town as soon as I get out of school to go home, so if we don't decorate early enough, it really isn't worth the hassle. This year, we did it the weekend after Thanksgiving.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish? I've never been big on Holiday dishes, not Thanksgiving or Christmas. I'll eat some of it, but I definitely don't eat a lot or crave it like the rest of the world does. I am THAT GIRL who is always hungry later that night and mad that everything is CLOSED. {and no I don't do leftovers}
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Getting up at 5:00am so excited to see what Santa brought us! My sisters and I would wait with excitement in the hall waiting for my parents to get the camera ready. :)
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? Oh this is nice...My Grandpa told me on CHRISTMAS EVE! Bummer. But my mom told me Santa will always come as long as we believe...and yes mom, I still believe.

9. Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve? We open our Christmas PJ's on Christmas Eve and then our presents on Christmas morning. Except this year, we are going to wait a day or two after to make sure we can do it when everyone is there.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? My tree has white lights and gold beads. Most of my ornaments are browns, creams, and golds. {Picture Above}
11. Snow! Love or Dread it? A like a Texas type snow. It snows one day and is 40 degrees warmer the next day. I am NOT a fan of cold weather at all! But a day of snow is ok...no ice, just snow.
12. Can you ice skate? I sure can.
13. What tops your tree? A gold star.
14. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? My absolute favorite GIVING!
15. What is your favorite Christmas song? Anything Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Boyz II Men, Chris Brown, NSYNC...you know, the Classics. :)
16. Candy Canes? Love the Sprees kind! I don't really care for the original flavored ones
17 – Favorite Christmas Movie – Elf!
Do share your favorites!
Katie! I can't believe your Grandpa told you there wasn't a Santa Claus.. How old were you? Is he the Grinch that ruined your Christmas? Bad Grandpa...............Love you Grandma
ReplyDeleteI don't remember how old I was. I just remember we were at Marylee's house and I was sitting on his lap in a chair. I was probably way to old to still be {for real} believing.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad I could inspire! I am sooo like you on the Thanksgiving/Christmas meal. And I do not do leftovers either!! :)
ReplyDeleteCute post! I might "borrow" this. And, I love your tree.
ReplyDeleteTake away...I "borrowed" it too!
ReplyDeleteI may have to borrow it, too.
ReplyDeleteI still believe ~ I'm putting Santa to the test this year. Only he and I know what I truly want. I'm checking it out to see if he comes through!
Mama
P.S. I still hear the bell ringing...
