[yesteach]

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chococolate? Neither - Peppermint Coffee
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Sits them under the tree
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? white
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No
5. When do you put your decorations up? Thanksgiving day - but not this year, we're going out of town.
6. What is your favorite Christmas dish (excluding dessert)? My stepmother's cornbread dressing, it's not Christmas without it
7. Favorite Christmas memory? I have so many - I think my favorite is setting up the Nativity with my aunt. We were only 9 years apart in age, and every year she'd help me set up the Nativity. We'd place the wisemen on the opposite side of the room and they'd "travel" everyday from there to the coffee table to the little manger on the heater in my grandmother's living room... arriving just in time for Christmas day.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I'm not sure what you're talking about... my stepmother told me as long as I believe, Santa will always come.. and he always does! My brother and I (44 and 47 this year) STILL get presents from Santa at my parents' house every year
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Sometimes
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? White lights, ornaments collected over the years - no glass balls, just the ornaments.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Not a problem, I live in TX.. what's snow???
12. Can you ice skate? no
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? There are a few that stand out, but the one that sticks in my head the most was a pair of white jeans with red and blue stripes from my grandmother. I wanted them soooooooo badly (welcome to the 70s!) so she bought them for me one night while we were out, and had me take them to her house and wrap them and put them under the tree..
14. What's the most important thing about Christmas for you? Family
15.What is your favorite Christmas dessert? Pineapple chess pie - we LOVE it!
16. What is your favorite Christmas tradition? As a child, Santa always bringing a box of apples, oranges and mixed nuts. With my daughter, the only tradition we have that has lasted through the years is picking an "angel" for Christmas. Sometimes from a tree in the mall, sometimes a child from school who is in need - but we always pick at least one - more if we can afford it. It started with my daughter at the mall one year when she was about five, she wanted to get an angel off the tree (didn't realize what they were). So we got a little girl about her age and then I explained it to her and let her go shopping for the things on the list. Ever since, we've spent a day shopping for our angels. it's one of our favorite days of the season
17. Is the commercialism of Christmas a turn-off, or do you take it in your stride? I take it in stride - we try not to do our shopping last minute or when the crowds are all rushed.
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? Giving
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? All of them
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? Yum - what's Christmas without candy canes??
