How we celebrate Christmas

I am borrowing this from Beverly, who borrowed this from Blooming Lovely, who borrowed it from Mom 2 my 3 girls.





How we celebrate Christmas





1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Hot chocolate with out a doubt.



2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Always wrapped



3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
White always white I just don't like the look of colored lights unless you have a white tree.




4. Do you hang mistletoe?
I guess I would if I knew where to get it from but other than that Nope.




5. When do you put your decorations up?
I always start the decorating right after Thanks giving and it traditionally stays up until the first week of January. That is how my parents did it and my grandparents also, so that is how we do it.




6. What is your favorite holiday dish?
I can't say that I really have one favorite dish at Christmas because it is all good.




7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Oh that one is easy, My favorite memory from my childhood is when we would all pile into the car and drive around in our PJ's looking at all the pretty houses with all the decorations and lights. Its a tradition that I still carry on with my children.




8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I would have to say at about the fourth grade when I woke up in the middle of the night and saw my mom and dad wrapping the gifts that were suppose to be from Santa and saw my dad eating Santa's cookies. Yeah I was heartbroken.




9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
Yes always it is a family tradition.




10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
It changes every year. Depending on whatever theme I am going with that year. This year will be a Red Green and Silver tree. Dj picked the theme. I figured why not.




11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Love it always. I even love playing in it. I know I'm a big kid. I am still waiting on my White Christmas though.




12. Can you ice skate?
Yes I can....not well but I can. I wish I knew of a place where I could take the family to skate together.




13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
I have gotten so many wonderful gifts over the years that I can't choose just one favorite gift. Usually though it is something that was home make with love. I tend to treasure those more.




14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
That would have to be being around the family. I don't get to see much of my extended family anymore because we are all so spread out but I am hoping one day soon we will all be able to be together. Also doing a little Charity work. It always warms my heart to see others happy. Everyone deserves to have a great Christmas.



15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
That would be the same thing as my favorite Thanksgiving dessert. My family's traditional Sweet Cranberry Salad. It is made at both holidays and its just not the same without it.




16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Driving around looking at lights in our PJ's.




17. What tops your tree?
Again that depends on the theme for the year. This year I think it will be a bow. I have not finished the tree yet so I'm not sure but it is always one of three things. Either an Angle, a Star, or a Bow.




18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving?
When I was younger most definitely receiving but now that I am older and really understand the meaning of Christmas It is always giving. It just does my heart good to see others have a wonderful Christmas also.




19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
I cant say I have a favorite I really love all of them.




20. Candy Canes: Yuck or Yum?
Always Yum. But only the traditional flavor nothing else.


21 Favorite Christmas Show?
I love all the classics...but also I love The Polar Express!!

22. Saddest Christmas Song?
I can't say I have heard a sad Christmas song but everyone else seems to think its one called Christmas Shoes. I personally have never heard it but will be looking it up on YouTube later.
