for mar, mostly: 20 xmas question meme
1. Eggnog or hot chocolate?
Hot cocoa, real milk, real cocoa powder, a la mthgeek
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
Stockings in the hallway outside the apartment.
3. Colored lights or white?
Either, as long as they're the small bulbs. I've yet to see a good use for the jumbo ones.
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
I think it kills dogs.
5. When do you put your decorations up?
When the neighbors do :)
6. What is your favorite holiday dish?
All of them. There must be white rice at the table.
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child?
Getting bundled up and going to see the windows downtown. Or maybe the choosing one present to open on Christmas Eve, and then waking up super early, especially when my sister was very small, and opening our stockings.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
Oh gosh, I have no idea.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
Indeed. See above.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
Collection of my and Tim's ornaments, plus lights and silver garlands.
11. Snow! Love it or dread it?
Love!
12. Can you ice skate?
Hypothetically.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift as a kid?
I loved my dollhouse. Ironically, we never did finish building it.
14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you?
Family.
15. What is your favorite holiday dessert?
I'm so full by dessert, I honestly don't think I notice. We make holiday cookies every Sunday, to give out to customers at the jewelry store. I have more memories of those.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Nothing in particular. Just being with the family.
17. What tops your tree?
A lit star.
18. Which do you prefer: giving or receiving?
As much as I totally love the receiving, I like the choosing gifts and wrapping and bestowing about as much, plus it's a longer process, so it feels more rewarding than the fleeting moments of the getting.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
The Holly and the Ivy, perhaps.
20. Candy canes?
To drink hot cocoa through!
