20 Christmas Questions

I found this list of questions from a really good blog I found through other parenting blogs, so let me link her: http://www.life-love-laundry.blogspot.com/. I love reading other parent's blogs. :)

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Mostly wrapped, a couple unwrapped
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I love colored lights, but Jessie likes white...we have colored on the tree...maybe next year I'll let him have it his way... ;)
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No
5. When do you put up your decorations? Usually on the weekend after Thanksgiving. This year it was sort of done over a few days the week after Thanksgiving. We had a busy weekend. :)
6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Oooh. Mama's fudge. And deviled eggs!
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Christmas Eve at home with Mama. We read the Christmas story and I was just bouncing off the walls with excitement. The living room was decked out (no pun intended) and you could just feel Christmas.
8. When and how did you learn that Santa isn't real? What? This must be a trick question.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Usually we let the kids open one. BUT...this year, probably not. We'll be going to Jessie's mom's family before heading to my families on Christmas Eve and they'll probably open about a billion and one while we're there.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? With anything we have. Candy canes, decorations from when I was a kid, decorations given as gifts, some with family members names on them, some I made, colored lights, a beautiful angel on top. Its a true "family" tree.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Love it! But sadly, Mississippians don't see too much at Christmas.
12. Can you ice skate? I did once when I was about 8. I ended up with a huge blister on my foot so the answer would probably be no.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? a "computer" (using that word loosely) that had some kind of picture/word games on it. Had some kind of booklet with it. It was gray... I really did love it!
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? "Spending extra time with my family and making the holiday special for the kids. Celebrating Christ's birth." That was the previous answerers answers, but I couldn't have said it better myself.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Mom's fudge, hands down.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Putting up the tree, reading the Christmas story with the kids, listening to our "Muppet's Christmas" tape together (with Beaker!)
17. What tops your tree? a beateous angel in a flowing red gown (poetic?)
18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving gifts? Giving
9. What is your favorite Christmas Song? O Holy Night
20. Candy Canes on the tree? Yes, yummy
