Somone on my friends list made me this lovely icon last year, and now I can't remember who. (I have two likely candidates in mind.) Care to speak up so I can give credit?
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? It depends on whether I'm hot or cold!
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wraps them.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored
4. Do you hang mistletoe? I will this year!
5. When do you put your decorations up? The first weekend after the first of December.
6. What is your favorite Christmas dish (excluding dessert)? Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding
7. Favorite Christmas memory as a child? The treasure hunts my father put together. I still remember finding my first record player in the dryer when I was about ten years old.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I don't remember ever actually believing in Santa Claus. [But I have to copyvicarchori's answer as well, because it's priceless: "He told me recently, but the Saami language was hard to understand, so I'm not sure I got everything."]
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Growing up, we celebrated Christmas Eve with my father's family and Christmas day with my mother's. Now, I celebrate Christmas Eve with my family, and then my daughter celebrates Christmas Day with her father and his family.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Lots of ornaments, most with stories. Some are traditional glass balls, some more modern Hallmark ornaments with special associations.
11. Snow! Love it or dread it? Dread it if I have to go to work.
12. Can you ice skate? Nope.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? When I was a child, it was the Dancerina doll.
14. What is your favorite Christmas Dessert? I don't have a specifically Christmas dessert
15. What is your favorite Christmas tradition? I haven't been observing traditions for a long time. I'm trying to change that this year. But from junior high through several years out of college I would go to both performances of Handel's Messiah every year at my church. I would sit in the front row and make it a point of being the first to stand for the Hallelujah Chorus.
16. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? Nice with hot chocolate, but I don't eat them by themselves.
17. What tops your tree? An angel
18. Which do you prefer -- Giving or Receiving? I have more fun picking out gifts than opening them these days.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? "Christmas in the Northwest" brings tears to my eyes when I hear it on the radio, but "For Unto Us a Child is Born" is my favorite Christmas song.
