Christmas Questions

Egg nog or hot chocolate?
I'm like one of the 3 people I know that I love egg nog. Everyone else absolutely hates it which I totally don't get!! but i like hot chocolate too.

Does Santa wrap presents or set them under the tree?
when I was a kid, santa would leave the gifts unwrapped under the tree. now that i have a kid, santa stays up all night assembling said gifts and then signs mommy and daddy's name to the good stuff...i like the glory:)

Colored lights on tree or white?
I'm totally a white light person. Jeffrey and i disagree about this every year. every single year. he likes the colored lights...that blink. i just can't do it. it's just too tacky.

When do you put your decorations up?
Typically we put them up (tree at least) on the evening on Thanksgiving. This year, we finally got the tree up a couple days ago and there is currently ONE ornament on it. I'd say we have about half of our other stuff up so far. I'm not sure why we are struggling this year. Probably out of fear-Connor wasn't walking/destroying last year.

What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Stuffing. Nothing fancy-Stovetop

Favorite holiday memory as a child?
as a child? probably the buttload of gifts i got.

Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
My family has always had that tradition. Jeffrey's family opens all of their gifts on Christmas Eve though, so the novely of the one gift has kinda lost it's shimmer.

How do you decorate your Christmas tree?

Which do you prefer, giving or receiving?
I really love finding something that I know someone will love. Maybe they mentioned in 6 months earlier and I've managed to remember. But, if i'm being honest, I really like presents for me too.
