Christmas Survey... YAY! (Stolen from Alex)
1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate? Hm... this is a tough one... Eggnog plain but peppermint hot chocolate.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa really only leaves presents in my stocking.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? White all the way, except on the teeny tiny tree in my sister and my part of the house that we sometimes decorate and sometimes don't. (We don't really care about that one.)
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No... my mom forgot it in the fridge one christmas.
5. When do you put your decorations up? Around the 15th of December, or I like to think.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Brussel sprouts and chestnuts all the way!!!!
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: When I couldn't sleep and I swear I heard raindeer bells. That and the christmas trees... Oh and the fact that my mother used to overload the tree with red balls (seriously there was more red than green some years). Now she just does it with lights and makes the tree glow.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? One year I just accepted it, but really I still like to think he's there.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yep... it's even gotten more complicated, now everyone gives a gift and receives one too!
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? White lights, glass balls, and traditional ornaments. My mom has moved from red balls to blue, white, silver, gold, and red balls.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12. Can you ice skate? Well... I really suck at it. My ankles turn in. I prefer watching it.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? When my family came to Egypt to celebrate christmas with me. :-D
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Celebrating it with my family and carrying out little traditions even in unfamiliar environments.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Pumpkin Pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? The Ble de Ste. Barbe, followed by the advent calender.
17. What tops your tree? The BEAUTIFUL African American angel my mom bought at Casey's late one December night. Otherwise, it's an intricate origami star my dad made (I think).
18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving? Being there to see and do both.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Depends on my mood... there are too many!
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum??? DELICIOUS and so fun!
