Christmas Meme
Snow is coming down hard and fast outside today and I’m feeling very Christmas-y today. I saw this Meme on Txmommy’s blog, Too Many to Count, and had to do it, too! Feel free to join in!
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Definitely both!
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrap…it’s no fun if you don’t have paper to tear off.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored!! And twinkly!!
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No. Too many little people in the house for mistletoe since it’s poisonous and I don’t like the way the fake stuff looks.
5. When do you put your decorations up? Right after Thanksgiving.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Mashed Yams
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: Waking up at 4 am on Christmas morning and sneaking out of my bedroom to get my stocking and bring it back to my bedroom, stopping for a few minutes to look at how beautiful the tree looked, sparkling in the dark with tons of pretty presents underneath it.
8. How and When did you learn the truth about Santa? I don’t remember a specific moment of revelation. I guess I kind of still believe in him!
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Colored lights and a mix of ornaments gathered over the years.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Love it! I grew up in Phoenix where snow is a fairy tale that mothers tell their children about at bedtime! Now I live in Idaho and get my fill of it every year.
12. Can you ice skate? Yes, I used to skate competetively when I was younger.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? The best gifts are always the fun ones!
14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Being surrounded by the people I love.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? The cookies!

17. What tops your tree? A star that lights up.
18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving? I love giving, especially to my kids.

I remember my parents sitting me down to tell me there was no Santa, and then I remember arguing them down that there was a Santa because I had heard his bells on the roof when the sleigh stopped. They must have had a good laugh, because I was just about 11 years old.
You are getting snow!!! I wish we would get a least one good snow, for just one day only.
