Dio's xmas meme... just cause
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? even if Alton Brown devoted an entire show to it, I refuse to drink egg nog - however, hot chocolate rocks
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Um he wraps them, probably forcing the elves to work overtime and violating labor laws
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? hmm I go back and forth on this one - on the one hand, white lights are elegant and match my silver decorations... on the other colored light are garish; therefore, kind of fun in a 3-year-old playing dress-up kind of way
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Personally I never had a problem with Balder, and really parasitic-god-killer plants don't make me want to kiss anyone... so that's a no
5. When do you put your decorations up? hopefully I'll get some sort of decorations up this year - I think 2 years ago I had the tree up by mid-december... skipped it last yeat, we will have to see how this year goes.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Are there holiday dishes that aren't dessert?
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child: as a child - any year my parents didn't fight, glare, or otherwise make each other miserable... so probably the first year they were divorced.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
To be honest, I don't ever remember actually believing in Santa. I mean I always knew it was my late grandfather in the Santa suit.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Not until the divorce, that's when my dad got x-mas eve.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? I have a small selection of xmas tunes. generally I listen to Orbison's Pretty Paper about 6 times and then decorate.
11. Snow! Love it or dread it?I have limited knowledge of snow. It seemed fun to visit... and if all goes according to plan, I'll love it for the skae of my PhD
12. Can you ice skate? I used to - I probably still could, but Weasel has advised against it (wrist breaking and all)
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? hmm nope, no clue. My family isn't so big on surprises (duh J girls and all) - so nothing is ever a surprise. I like surprises
14. What do you want for Christmas this year? at this point, I just want my car back - oh and for someone else to write my SOP
15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? Pumpkin pie, sugar cookies (sans frosting), fudge (when Mrs. Park doesn't over salt it)
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? X-mas eve after all the family stuff - Sitting home, alone, drinking some good red wine and watching anime. Huh I think I hate x-mas
17. What tops your tree? jack-o-lantern
18. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? giving - I really like making stuff for people, but I think candles are out
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? See Orbison above - and silent night
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? I'll try them all - the traditional is good (and multi-functional - it's great as a stirrer for hot chocolate or mulled wine) - the fruity ones are ok
