Christmas 20 Questions

1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate?

Hot Chocolate....since I have been pregnant with Dillon I LOVE Hot chocolate with Carmel flavoring :)

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?

Depends if they are too big to wrap then UN-wrapped. Otherwise everything else gets wrapped.

3. Colored Lights or White?

White lights of course, colored lights are SO tacky, just a personal preference I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. That's just what I grew up with and LOVE classic white lights.

4. Do you hang mistletoe?

If I could find mine I would but we don't need a plant hanging in the house to want to kiss :)

5. When do you decorate for Christmas?

Well seeing as I was pregnant for 3 christmas' I haven't decorated like I have wanted to. So I am hoping next year to really go out....we do bring "Big" Santa down every year and he's a big hit with all the kids......I am so glad I bought him, I know Dan thought I was crazy when I came home with him... he is like 4 feet tall.

6. Wrapping paper or gift bags?

Wrapping paper, love peeling it away from the gift

7. Favorite Holiday Memory As A Child?

Getting all dressed up for Christmas Eve Service and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Then coming home and opening one gift before the big day.
Waking up to the smell of "monkey bread" that my mother made...she truly was the best cook.
8. When and how, did you learn the truth about Santa?

He's not real :) My mother took me shopping with her and just explained it all to me and I had to keep it real for my little sister. I don't remember being disappointed because I do recall kids talking about it on the playground.

9. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?

White lights of course....silver things and red bows

10. Snow love it or hate it?

Love the look of it but I just enjoy my father telling me all about it! He lives in Cleveland, OH.

11. Can you ice skate?

Yes grew up ice skating...my father would drain our in-ground swimming pool halfway and it would freeze and we would skate all winter long!

12. Do you remember your favorite gift?

13. What is the most important thing about the holidays to you?

Watching my girls in awe of the whole Christmas thing and remembering what it is all about!
