so i'm usually against anything christmas before thanksgiving. not because i'm a scrooge or anything, but it kind of takes the magic out of it if you have it longer than a few weeks. ya know? well, this year, since thanksgiving is so late, i've decided to jump on the early bandwagon. i decorated my christmas tree in my apartment yesterday. and i'm still in a bit of a christmassy mood...thus the following survey :)
1.Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? hot chocolate...although, i've recently been introduced to hot lemonade and it's almost more fantastic.
2.Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? he puts them in the stockings hung by the chimney with care...duh.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? white...although, colored ones are really fun...
4. Do you hang mistletoe? good idea...maybe i'll try that this year. :)

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child: wow, i had lots of good ones. i was an only child with a VERY creative mom. she would write treasure hunts with some kind of story and i had to find at least one gift. one year she hid it somewhere really hard and i didn't find it until the middle of january. haha.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? i think i was 3 or 4?? my grandma owned a daycare that i stayed at sometimes and one afternoon, i asked my mom if santa was real. she asked "what do you think" and i said no. she said "well you're right, but not everybody knows that so we need to keep that a secret between us." i whispered "does daddy know???" :)
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? my parents and i open all our gifts on christmas eve.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? all kinds of snoopy, mickey mouse and donald duck wooden ornaments that my mom painted i think the year she and my dad got married.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? i have a new favorite every year.
14. What is the most important thing about the Holidays for you? well, the time off is greatly appreciated...but i love that we can get together and celebrate and remember jesus' birth.
