Christmas Meme

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate!!!! Whoever thought that raw eggs would make a good drink should be shot. Yuk! It makes me gag just thinking about it.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? What nonsense is this? Of course he wraps the presents. It amazes me though how his wrapping paper is always the same as the stuff my mom uses. hmmmm...interesting.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? White lights! They look classy. I think they show off your ornaments better.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? YEP!!! But it hasn't worked. :( But then again I have been using the fake plastic stuff. This year our Forester went and cut me a bunch of live mistletoe. Maybe I will have better luck.

5. When do you put your decorations up? They normally go up the 2nd weekend in December and come down New Year's Day. Speaking of which I have to locate someone with a truck because I doubt an 8ft tree will fit on top of my Scion. LOL

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? I love corn pudding. We only have it on special holidays. I don't know why...it isn't hard to make. I guess it just gives me something to look forward to.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: When my sister and I were little our parents took us to Montgomery Mall near DC. As with every year we stood in line to talk to Santa. But this year was different. The parents stood in on line and the kids stood in another. Finally it was mine and Anne's turn to see Santa. As we walked up the steps, Santa looked down at us and said, "Well if it isn't Anne and Becky. Our mouths dropped. Santa knew who we were!!! He knew where our rooms were and what we had written in our "Dear Santa" letters. I went back and told all my friends that I met the REAL Santa. It was years later that my mom told me the truth. There was an elf behind the scenes who asked my parents questions and she fed the information to Santa through an ear piece.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? What? What truth about Santa? What are you all talking about?

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? I sometimes open my Birthday Presents on Xmas Eve. IT drives my sister crazy. As for Xmas presents...they get open Christmas morning.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? First I put on the angel and then the lights. Next or the gold and burgundy balls. Then I put on my White House and my Island of Misfit Toys ornaments. Then I fill in with the rest

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? I like snow if I don't have to drive in it.

12. Can you ice skate? LOL no. It God had meant for me to skate I would have been born with blades on my feet.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? It was a pink party dress that twirled up when I spun around.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? On Barbara Streisand's Christmas Album she sings a song called "The Best Gift" It is about receiving a child and how blessed she was. Since I was born on Christmas I feel like the song is written about me. Yeah I know...it is always about me. Deal with it!

20. Candy Canes? Yes I love candy canes as long as they are the regular peppermint ones. Don't like the fruity flavored ones.
