Got this from Donna over at A Quiet Life:
1. Hot Chocolate or apple cider?
Either, but I especially like Apple Cider. A good cappuccino would be nice, too.
2. Turkey or Ham?
Neither. Cheesy potatoes and lots of deserts.
3. Do you get a fake or real-you-cut-it-yourself Christmas tree?
Definitely a real tree. I always wanted one growing up, when we had the silver foil tree, and now we get one every year.
4. Decorations on the outside of your house?
A wreath and an undecorated tree on the porch. One year, I hope to put up lights. We have those candle lights in the windows.
5. Snowball fights or sleddin'?
Sledding and making forts.
7. Do you enjoy going downtown shopping?
This year, it was Goodwill, Save-N-Serve and used bookstores. I enjoy the outdoor strip malls for retail.
8. Favorite Christmas song?
Good King Wenceslas, Frosty the Snowman and Baby, It's Cold Outside.
10. How do you feel about Christmas movies?
I really like them! We watched A Christmas Story last night. Well, they watched. I fell asleep only to be awoken by wild, intermittent laughter.
11. When is it too early to start listening to Christmas music?
Not before the day after Thanksgiving.
12. Stockings before or after presents?
After presents, and after all of the wrapping paper is cleaned up.
13. Carolers, do you or do you not watch and listen to them?
We don't get carolers.
14. Go to someone else's house or they come to you?
Since we're broke, we stay home. But tomorrow, we have Grandma Max's calling hours, so that will be a gathering of the season, unfortunately.
15. Do you read the Christmas Story? If so when?
We read it as part of our Advent.
16. What do you do after presents and dinner?
Play games, read books, check up on e-mail, visit with friends and family, if they're around.
17. What is your favorite holiday smell?
Fabric softener from the new Christmas jammies.
18. Ice skating or walking around the mall?
Both.
19. Do you open a present or presents on Christmas Eve, or wait until Christmas day?
Christmas jammies, Pringles and one present on Christmas Eve. The rest as early as we can get Dad out of bed.
20. Favorite Christmas memory?
There are many. This is for another post.
21. Favorite Part about winter?
The beauty of winter, the silence outside, the ice on the trees, the warm winter clothes, and gathering with relatives.
22. Ever been kissed under mistletoe?
Yup! We have some hanging in our piano room. :-)
