Christmas Meme....

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot chocolate, DEFINATELY!
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Gotta be wrapped! It's not Christmas without wrapped gifts!
3. Colored lights on tree/house or clear? I generally prefer the white lights only...which is rather strange, considering the rest of the tree looks like a rainbow threw up on it.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Only from my belt buckle. WHOA-HO! thanks, thanks, I'll be here all week! Don't forget to tip your waiters!
5. When do you put your decorations up? Generally, i try to do it the first weekend of December.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding desserts)? i don't have a specific dish, but Mama Polt's Christmas meal makes my mouth water ANYtime of year i think of it.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Every year, when we put the tree up, we had the camera there to take pictures, and every year, without fail, I'd get a pciture of my dad's ass when he bent over for something, and every year, without fail, he's yell at me for it, and every year without fail, mom and I would laugh ourselves silly about it all.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? Pretty early, actually. We didn't have a chimney, so that's what started my questions, including how we could go to two different malls in the same day and have Santa at each.
9. Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve? Nope, Santa brings the gifts after the kids go to bed, you can't open a gift before Santa brings them!

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Love it! bring it on! The more the merrier, cause the more, the greater the chance I have for an excuse not to go to work!

13. Do you remember your favorite gift as a kid? I really don't have one gift that sticks out at particularly memorable.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? I'm usually too full for desert...how about Mama Polt's Homemade Peanut Brittle.

18. Which do you prefer---giving or receiving? Isn't that a bit personal? Either way, i think giving is better.
