Are we back??

Don't be shocked. I'm blogging.

Kinda - it's a survey, does that count?

Christmas Survey

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Hot Chocolate - Egg Nog is icky!!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
They are wrapped!

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

4. Do you hang mistletoe?
nope

5. When do you put your decorations up?
Usually either the day after Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day..this year, not at all.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Any of the veggies - casseroles! (But I really LOVE Peanut Butter Fudge!)

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Going downstairs on Christmas morning to hear Granny Smith say "Ho,Ho,Ho Merry Christmas" in her deepest voice...while wearing her newly decorated sweatshirt and large colored lights necklace :)

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
The same fateful night I learned about the Tooth Fairy. Thanks Dad. :)

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
Not with family. Maybe with friends.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
With all Winnie the Pooh ornaments

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
I like to see it fall. I hate to be cold. And I really hate it when snow keeps me from going where I want to go or doing what I want to do.

12. Can you ice skate?
I've tried, but I'm not very good.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
Yes. Do you want to know what it was?

14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Jesus, of course! And it is the ONLY time of the year my whole family gets to be together. As more of my family is dying, I'm beginning to cherish even more the rare times we get to be together. We were never fortunate enough to live in the same area with our family so Christmas time is the only 2 days we have all year to actually see each other. It is brief, but it is special. I wouldn't miss it.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Peanut Butter Fudge

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Opening presents one at a time, so that we can actually enjoy what we all get and give and it doesn't go by so fast!

17. What tops your tree?
Nothing this year...tree is still in the box! Usually, an angel

18. Which do you prefer, giving or Receiving gifts?
Anybody who knows me at all knows I want to give the gifts.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
I am not a fan of Christmas music (in December!), but I love It Musta Been Ol' Santa...and ANYTHING Harry Connick, Jr. sings. I also love Child of God, Breath of Heaven, A Strange Way to Save the World, and lots of others.

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
They are ok.
