Posted by mimi on Dec 14, 2006 in dish | 0 commentsThis gem’s making the rounds. Join in with your answers…
- Eggnog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate, of course!
- Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? He sets them under the tree so you know they’re from him. The wrapped ones are from family.
- Colored lights on house/tree or white? Colored–but white, red, and green only.
- Do you hang mistletoe? Why bother? There’s already tons of it in the oak trees over my house.
- When do you put your decorations up? A couple of weeks after Thanksgiving, because they stay up until Epiphany (Jan. 6)
- What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Lately, prime rib and Yorkshire pudding. And broccoli casserole.
- Favorite holiday memory from childhood: Waiting upstairs until Granddaddy turned on the Christmas tree so we could come down and see what Santa brought–no peeking and NO going downstairs until the tree is on.
- When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I can’t remember, so it must not have been traumatic.
- Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Absolutely NOT.
- How do you decorate your Christmas tree? Lights, wooden bead garlands, decorated balls, apples, family/unique ornaments.
- Snow! Love it or dread it? Love it in pictures. It was fun to play in when I was a kid, but I can’t imagine liking having to drive in it as a grownup.
- Can you ice skate? Nope.
- Do you remember your favorite gift? Probably the year my sister and I got new bikes. But we were in SC for the holiday rather than Florida, so Santa left us Barbies with Barbie bikes to play with until we got home.
- What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Being with family.
- What is your favorite holiday dessert? My stepmom’s gingersnaps
- What is your favorite holiday tradition? Going to midnight services on Christmas Eve
- What tops your tree? An angel
- Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? Giving!
- What is your favorite Christmas song? Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (song); It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (carol)
- Favorite Christmas movie? It’s a Wonderful Life and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the real one by Chuck Jones, featuring Thurl Ravenscroft singing “You’re a Mean One, Mister Grinch”)
