1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Both
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
He wraps some of the presents on the years I have the kids overnight on Christmas Eve.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Colored, although sometimes white is nice
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
I will if I ever have a girlfriend at Christmas time (or someone over that I am really interested in)
5. When do you put your decorations up?
First week of December if the weather is nice. I try to do all the inside and outside stuff all in one weekend
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert?)
The turkey is the best
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Sledding down the hill behind the Madison Heights Public Library
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I don't remember how old I was, but I found out when I discovered presents stored in a linen closet for me and my brother from Santa. I'm not even sure it was December yet.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
My parents caved into our insisting on opening one gift on Christmas Eve. My ex's family opens all their family (non-Santa) gifts on Christmas Eve. So my kids get to open half of their gifts on Christmas Eve with her family, then half in the morning with my family.
10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him?
He usually gets one of each kind. But I think Santa's favorite is Buckeyes
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
I love it, but we don't get enought here in Colorado Springs. Once in a while we get a good dump, but it is only once or twice a year, but it's gone in just a few days.
12. Can you ice skate?
I used to. Growing up in Michigan the fire department would clear a big field across the street from my house and pump water into it. That was so awesome. Most of the places to ice skate in Colorado Springs are indoors, which I think takes half the fun away from it.
13. What is your most memorable gift?
An old bike
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Spending time with my family
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Oh God, what isn't.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Playing board games and telling nestolgic tales of our past.
17. What tops your tree?
Usually a moving Bugs Bunny holding a lantern
18. Which do you prefer - Gift-Giving or Receiving?
I prefer to give, but I hate shopping
19. What is your favorite Christmas Carol?
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
No real opinion

you know, we have a little outdoor skating rink in the city through the holidays... so you just come to sf and we'll do little skating before the hot chocolate and schnapps!
I hope you had a nice Christmas! Now we just have to make it though New Years
Yes, seriously. I couldn't find it when setting up the tree, but I did find it just the other day. It has been the ultimate tree topper for me. We used to do the stars or spires and once had an angel, butBugs is the best ever. I could probably sell it for big bucks on EBay. I think I've had it for 10 years or so.
Big smooches back Chissie.
