A Life of Balance
Dec. 17, 2006
A litle Christmas info on me...
1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate? Eggnog and brandy, but I'm pregnant... SO... eggnog. pastuerized.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? He wraps of course
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? white all round, but with the kiddos, I think, the colored will be coming out next year!!
4. Do you hang mistletoe? no... don't know why!
5. When do you put your decorations up? Day after THanksgiving, or the first day after when Bryan has off work.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Sweet Potatoes... with this amazing pecan / brownsugar topping. granted there is SO much sugar it is like dessert... but it ISN'T... really!!
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? I remember the Christmas Eve we boated 6 hours, and still couldn't get all the way home, and hiked the rest of the way... it was just a sweet together Christmas. We opened the packages and ate treats on the river in amidst the mud a mosquitoes.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? It was just fun... I don't think I ever believed in him... I mean... if I did, it would have only been for snowy countries, surely!!
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? We always opened one family gift. This year, Christmas Eve will be our Christmas, because Bryan has to work on Christmas Day... and I am NOT opening stockings at 5 in the morning!!!
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? lights, collected ornaments that all tell a story... and an orange yellow and brown Thanksgiving link that my son INSISTED was a Christmas ornament!!
11. Snow! Love it or dread it? love it... BUT I do wish it was only 3 months of the year instead of 7 plus!!!
12. Can you ice skate? yes... not gracefully, but still!
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? no...
14. What's the most important thing about the holidays for you? being with family, and baking lots and lots of yummy treats.
15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? all things dipped in chocolate, my new favorite, peppermint bark, and a new tradition... sticky date pudding with some ridiculously yummy sauce... Bryan and I had it in Alice Springs!
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? driving around looking at lights, and the setting up of tree and decorations day. our new tradition this year... the Jesse Tree...
17. What tops your tree? some star looking thing from the '70's that used to top Bryan's tree when he was young... its kind of cool!!
18. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? Giving... except I love receiving at my in-laws. ITs like being a kid again, knowing you will be totally spoiled...
19. What is your favorite Christmas song? O Come O Come Emmanuel... although I guess that is advent. so O HOly Night
20. Candy canes, yuck or yum? crushed in dark chocolate... YUM!!
