1. Egg nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate!
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wraps them and sets them under the tree.
3. Colored lights or white? Colored...Kevin and I both grew up with them.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? We have before...but I haven't had the time to find some and shoot it down this year!
5. When do you put your decorations up? We normally do it all the 1st weekend of December (so we can enjoy all the decorations before going home the weekend before/after Christmas).
6. Favorite holiday dish? Cranberry Sauce.....YUMMY!!!
7. Favorite childhood memory? All the siblings piling in one room on Christmas Eve to sleep. Then, in the morning, waiting in our room until Mom and Dad told us it was "time." Then we were allowed to go look in our stockings. (At the time we had no clue that other kids had finished opening their presents long before we ever woke up. That's the way it went in our house!) Then we all ate breakfast before opening presents. Christmas lasted all morning...and we loved it!
8. When/how did you learn the truth about Santa? We didn't ever do Santa...so I guess I always knew!
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No, we opened one present before Christmas, and that was the day we set up our tree. St. Nick would always bring one very large gift after the tree was all decorated!
10. How do you decorate the tree? Kevin stands it up. We hangs the lights together and put all the ornaments on while listening to Christmas music!
11. Snow. Love it or dread it? What's snow?
12. Can you ice skate? Yep...I'm ok...
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? From Mom & Dad - a doll that I named Natalie-Gene. From Kevin - a Pearl Ring that he gave me while we were dating
14. What is the most important thing about the holidays to you? The spirit of giving & helping those in need, and the friends and family you visit & communicate with. Some that you don't get to see/hear from the rest of the year!
15. Favorite holiday dessert? mom's Banana Pudding & my mother-in-law's Chocolate Cake
16. Favorite Christmas Tradition? That Kevin and I have our own Christmas morning time together. Also, that we get a Christmas ornament at every new place we visit on trips, so when we decorate our tree we get to remember all our fun trips that we've taken together.
17. What tops your tree? An Angel. We both grew up with angels on our trees, so that's what we wanted. We found a cheap one at Target our first Christmas. Eventually we would like to get one that holds lights so that it isn't so dark up there!
18. Do you prefer giving or receiving? Both are favorites:-)
19. Favorite Christmas song? I love them all! I love all the Christmas Hymns, I also love "This Baby" & "Home for Christmas" by Steven Curtis Chapman
20. Candy canes. Yum or yuck? Stick them in an orange....yum:-)
21. What do you want for Christmas? Whatever the big surprise is that Kevin's planning!
22. Do you attend an annual Christmas party? yes...Kevin's company cook-out, and my company formal (different worlds - both are fun!)
23. Do you dress up for Christmas Eve or wear P.J.'s? Dress up to go to our church Christmas service, then get in PJ's to watch Elf.
24. Do you own a Santa hat? Nope :-(
25. Who do you normally spend Christmas with? Just the two of us....we visit families on the weekend before and the weekend after!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
