How 'bout that!  This is the first time I've ever been tagged.  Have fun finding out more about me!

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?  Hot chocolate!  Have never, ever tried egg nog and have no desire to!  ICK!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?  We leave Santa presents unwrapped under the tree, except that we've never called them Santa presents.  We've always told the kids that everything we have comes from the Lord.  It's still fun though!

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?  White inside and out these days, though we have used the small colored ones in the past.  My mom does the big, old-fashioned colored lights.  Hubby prefers white now.  Maybe one day I can talk him into going back to the colored lights.

4. Do you hang mistletoe?   Nope.  Who needs mistletoe just to kiss your husband?!?!  :)  hahahaha

5. When do you put your decorations up?  Thanksgiving Day or the day after.  The tree goes up after my parents bring it back with them from my uncle's North Carolina tree farm.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?  All of it!  Can't pick just one thing.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child:   Traveling to my grandparents' homes in Tennessee and spending lots of time with my cousins.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?  I think I just came out and asked.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?   Sometimes.  It just depends.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?  Lights, tinsel, ribbon bows, Maw-Maw's and my great-great Aunt's old ornaments, handmade ornaments, and glass balls.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?  I LOVE it!  We don't get it often, so it is always a treat.  A few years back we had two snow storms a week or so before Christmas.  It was magical for us.

12. Can you ice skate?   Kind of.  Haven't been in a long while.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift?  Wow, that's hard to say.  I have a favorite gift every year, but I don't think any one stands out as THE one that tops the list.

14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you?  Meditating on what's really important in life every other day of the year, spending time with my family, and thanking God for sending His Son to die for those who didn't even realize they were sick and needed a physician.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?  Cookies and fudge!

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?  Listening to Christmas music in October and waiting for the radio stations to start playing it November!  I also enjoy shopping with my mom and making special ornaments and things for family and friends.

17. What tops your tree?  A lighted star.

18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving?  I get such a blessing picking out something for a friend or family member that I know they will like.  As for receiving, I am humbled that somebody would look for the perfect gift just for me.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?  The Christmas Shoes.

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum??  Delish!
