In reply to fun questions- getting to know ya..humor me, posted by spriggy on December 17, 2005, at 14:48:21
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate?
Both. With rum. Lots of rum. How about hot buttered rum.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Santa Cat leaves toys and treats in their stocking on the mantle.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Colored ones. I have those really old fashioned looking big ones on the house. I hung them myself and didn't fall off the ladder.
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
I think I packed last years away to hang this year. Hey, so what it's dried out, nobody gets that close to it, right?
5. When do you put your decorations up?
The outside lights went up December 2. We got a tree last Sunday which is sitting undecorated because I'm on babble. The cleaning isn't done either. Oh well, those pine needles clean themselves up magically anyway.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Fruit salad with bananas, apples and oranges.
7 & 8 Favorite Holiday memory as a child? When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
Not to be depressing, but I really don't have a favorite holiday memory. My evil older brother told his entire kindergarten class there was no Santa, so I never had a chance to believe. Darn him.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
No, we've always been Christmas morning openers.
10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him?
I think this year Santa Cat is getting pounce treats. He always gobbles them up by morning so I know he really comes each year.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
I love watching it fall. Hate shoveling it. I wish it could magically melt when it hits the ground.
12. Can you ice skate?
I haven't tried it since I was 12. I remember skating on my ankles and once I could get pm tje blades not being able to stop without running into a snowbank. Or falling on my butt. Or falling onto another skater creating the domino effect.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
Geez I'm old. It was Baby First Step. This was in the 1960s and she actually walked by herself (thanks to batteries.) She made this funny motor sound, but I didn't care- she walked like a real baby did.
14. What is the most important thing about the Holidays for you?Champagne.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Cut out cookies with lots of frosting.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Watching A Christmas Story. Will Ralphie get his Red Ryder air rifle? The anticipation is building already.
17. What tops your tree?A blue glass spiral.
18. Which do you prefer Giving or Receiving?
I agonize over both, but receiving is less stressful.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Carol?
traditional song- Silver Bells
nontraditional- I Believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake.20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
Yum. The good old red and white peppermint ones.
