1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
man, as much as I love egg nog (even virgin egg nog), I have to go with Hot Chocolate. Because nothing beats a steaming cup of marshmellow smothered hot chocolate on a cold cold night.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Well, present have always been wrapped. But there are always some of the ones that were too big to wrap. So they were always hidden. I was a non-Santa believer by the time I was 7.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
white. colored lights are usually not done tastefully and end up looking tacky. it takes talent to do it right. white lights are easiest.
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
no. but my mom always used to hang a "Mistle Toad" which was a little green stuffed frog with mistletoe on his chest (not real) and a Santa hat on his head.
5. When do you put your decorations up? I haven't really decorated for Christmas for myself in a while. But I always help my parents decorate their tree with my portion of the ornaments
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Green Bean Casserole! (Thanksgiving AND Christmas!!)
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Just being with lots of family when we were all happy. Or at least all of us kids were happy.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I was about 7 and my parents explained the deception.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
We usually spend Christmas Eve with my dad's side of the family and open their presents then. Then on Christmas Day we spend it with my mom's side.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
We decorate my parents' tree with all of our ornaments collected from years past. I have some that are from when I was born. We all have our own separate boxes of decorations and ornaments. We have the plastic fake popcorn on strings, and the sparkly fake gumballs as well. In the end, our Christmas tree has kind of a comfy homey look.
11. Favorite Christmas movie?
Love Actually has actually become one of my favorites.
12. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
I like snow, but I'd never want to live in it for too long. Snowed in is fine when you have nothing to do but drink hot chocolate and eat food and vacation, but I'm sure it's a pain in the ass when you can't get to work.
13. Can you ice skate?
yes. we used to go alot to the Galleria in Dallas.
14. Do you remember your favorite gift?
Man, I can't pick just one. My whole family (close and extended) usually gets me alot of nice things. The year my parents got me alot of apartment stuff though was great. Amazon and other wishlists have made it alot easier now.
15. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Our holidays were usually always fun and happy up until a few years ago when alot of shit went down between my parents. Now I'm just happy that we can still get together in one place and at least act like we get along. I really miss those days when everything seemed so nice. 16. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Pumpkin Pie, homemade Sugar Cookies!

we used to do a calendar on our wall that counted down to Christmas. that was always fun. now we dont do much of anything.
18. What tops your tree?
