A little Holiday Meme that's been making it's way around... I don't do tons of these, but this one looked fun~
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate, preferably with white chocolate liquor
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? Always Wrap!
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Big old fashion colored bulbs on the tree, white icicle lights on the house
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Nope.
5. When do you put up your decorations? Generally the week following Thanksgiving, then again when the tree falls over (that's practically a holiday tradition).
6. What is your favorite holiday dish? It's a tie between Russian Tea Cakes & Fruit Pizza (giant fruit tart)
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Oh Gosh, the strongest holiday memory is the year my Dad almost killed my little brother (don't pull your kids sleds behind your pickup truck people...) I can't say I'm really fond of that one though. How about when I got this cute little gray Persian kitten under the tree?
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I don't think I remember a time when I didn't know the truth. Didn't mean I didn't enjoy pretending though.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Nope, Stockings first thing in the morning, then breakfast, then big presents.
10. What kind of decorations are on your Christmas Tree? I have lots of 'old fashion' glass ornaments. My favorites are those colored cracked glass ones, plus I have glass icicles & animals, and a few newer metal 'art' decorations
11. Snow! Love it or Dread? If it's cold I want snow. The only thing I don't like about snow is when it hangs around too long and gets all gray and dirty by the roads.
12. Can you ice skate? Sure can! I assisted (student trainer) our High School hockey team for 3 years & they taught me to skate. I love skating!!!
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? My younger brother always finds the best gifts for me (and it's never something that I ask for, but that I do really need). He had his old digital camera fixed & gave it to me one year (hence I have decent quality pictures for this blog. My old camera was 1.2mega pixels!). Then another year he got me a garage door opener remote for my car (previously we had 3 cars, but 2 remotes...)
14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Seeing my family.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? See holiday dish above...
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? The Stockings my dad's mom knit for us.
17. What tops your tree? I have a silver wire star with a big light in it.
18. What is your favorite holiday book? I guess it would have to be 'Night before Christmas'
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Carol of the Bells
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yummy? I like the traditional red & white peppermint candy canes.
