Get to know me...About Christmas...

This year tree...Missing a few branches at the bottom because Randy had to cut them off since the tree wouldn't stay standing up in this supposed to be the best stand. Yea...Right. But all n all it turned out just fine.
The holidays are near so in case you want to know a little about how we celebrate this email is going around so I thought I'd post here...

1.Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?

Hot Tea if it was an option but since it isn't I'll say Hot Chocolate. Not that I don't like Egg Nog but just once a year is plenty. Preferred warmed up with a little Brandy I think in it.
2.Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?

Growing up they where wrapped but Santa now doesn't wrap the ONE gift he brings. But it usually is the Best Gift.

3.Colored lights on tree/house or white?

White the past few years...but depends on if I choose a theme or not.

Nope...But maybe I should start. :)

Weekend after Thanksgiving

6.What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?

Getting to open up our sock before Mom and Dad got up. Inside you'd be sure to find, an apple and/or an orange, peanuts, some chocolate and a Barbie doll.

8.When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?

3rd grade at the lunch table...didn't want to believe it tho...Cuz I knew deep down there was noooo way my parents could afford the presents.
