1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
I like them both - but I will take the chocolate over egg nog anytime!
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Wrapped!
3. Colored light on house/tree or white?
White on the tree, none outside yet. =[ I would LOVE to get some of those old fashioned colored ones from way back in the day! Kind of like these:
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
I have a plastic one that is connected to a giant jingle bell...you can see it in one of the pics in an older post below.
5. When do you put your decorations up?
I like to start right after Thanksgiving, but this year it was a few days after when I started.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Probably the turkey or ham.
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child?
It was when we just moved to Fort Carson, Colorado. None of our Christmas decorations (or furniture) was there yet so we cut down our own tree and made all of the ornaments. I can still remember the pine cones that we found, glued and glittered. We also cut up some Coca Cola cans and made twisted ornaments (dad's idea), strung cranberry and popcorn...it was the best year ever.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
What truth? What do you mean? My dad always said that if you don't believe in Santa, there's no reason for there to be a gift from him under the tree or anything in the stockings...so, what was it you were asking? Hmmm? =]
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
We have at my mother-in-law's, but we usually don't.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
It's lit up with white lights and we have gold ribbon wrapped around it and then we have ornaments from all of our years - since our first year of marriage. We exchange an ornament each year and try to get each of the kids one too.

I think my favorite childhood gift was a stereo or something like that, but my favorite Christmas gift ever? Hmmm...I don't think I have one favorite...
