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?Egg nog. My mother complained to my pediatrician that the only milk I would drink was egg nog. He told her to give me egg nog.
> 2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Santa has just too many houses to deliver to. My husband and I have told him that he doesn't need to wrap the ones to our house. :)
> 3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Lights? I think my husband put some up last year. That's the first time ever in my life.
> 4. Do you hang mistletoe?
In my family of origin, we had a plastic mistletoe ball. But we never used it for its intended purpose.
> 5. When do you put your decorations up?
Used to be no later than December 1. Now no later than December 24. We've got our tree, though, and I think it looks perfectly lovely in its natural state.
> 6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Yorkshire pudding. Hands down.
> 10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him?Gingerbread. Not gingerbread cookies. Gingerbread.
We usually put out Shredded Wheat for the reindeer, but this year my son made some sugarry reindeer treats.
> 11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Love it. Rarely get it.
> 12. Can you ice skate?
Nope
> 13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
No. I loved them all. The small pinball machine maybe? Because Daddy liked to play it too.
> 14. What is the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
I used to love everything about it.
> 15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Gingerbread. Although we used to love McKenzie's lemon meringue pie after an overly large serving of Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding.
> 16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?Christmas Eve midnight mass. No one in the family is Catholic anymore so I don't get a chance to go. And the TV Christmas specials - especially the Grinch.
> 17. What tops your tree?
A star.
> 18. Which do you prefer Giving or Receiving?Giving.
> 19. What is your favorite Christmas Carol? O Holy Night
Well, if you discount the Who song, that'd be right up there. I sang it solo in my Middle School Christmas concert, and actually hit the high note. Daddy was sure I'd miss it. :)
>
> 20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?Eh. They're ok. I prefer gum drops (except the black ones.
