Christmas meme
1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate?
Hot chocolate! With mini marshmallows and a shot of either Bailey's, peppermint or butterscotch schnapps.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
Wrap
3. Coloured lights on tree/house or white?
Colored for the tree, white for the house.
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Yep
5. When do you put your decorations up?
Anytime after Thanksgiving and before Christmas Eve. It depends on how busy I am.
6. What is your favourite holiday dish?
My mom's honey glazed ham.
7. Favourite holiday memory as a child?
Getting a letter from Santa.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
Truth is relative. As far as I'm concerned, the spirit of Santa very much exists.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
When I was little, Mom would let me open one after Midnight Mass, and then the rest would wait until morning. This year, I got to open them all on Christmas Eve!
10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him?
Oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, gingerbread and these little russian teacakes Mom used to make. I insisted he have a variety. Now, he usually gets a belt of whiskey and some Tums.
11. Snow! Love it or hate it?
Love it if it's playtime. Hate it if I have to get to work.
12. Can you ice skate?
Yes
13. Do you remember your favourite gift?
Does Orlando count? If not, it would be the ring he gave me this year.
14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays to you?
Getting presents! Actually, it's taking time to appreciate the people in my life and to let them know how much I care about them.
15. What is your favourite holiday dessert?
Mom's mincemeat pie.
16. Favourite Holiday tradition?
When I was little, it was Mom coming in to wake me up on Christmas morning and showing me the sooty boot prints from the fireplace to the Christmas tree. As an adult, my favorite tradition is going to Mass. I'm hoping that Orli and I are going to have some new traditions to make our very own.
17. What tops your tree?
18. Which do you prefer–GIVING OR RECEIVING?
Giving. Receiving is a close second, though. And stop making me think about sex!
19. What is your favourite Christmas Carol?
Um...Carol Burnett in an elf costume?
O Holy Night
20. Candy Canes?
Yes, please. And not those fancy colored and flavored ones, either. Regular red and white peppermint, thanks.
