1. Egg nog or hot chocolate?
Hot chocolate I guess. I want to like egg nog, but I just can't.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Wrap with special paper.

3. Colored or white lights?
Either


4. Do you hang a mistletoe?
I have teeny stocking with real mistletoe attached that I put in the doorway between the kitchen and the living room. Honestly? It's too narrow for two people to get through at the same time, so it's really just deocration.

Definitely in December, usually when I can convince His Lordship to get the stuff down!

Ham! Because...ham!

Getting together with family, making pitzels and just being.


8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
You know, I honestly don't remember.


9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? 10. How do you decorate your tree?
I have two ways; all the delicate silver and gold ornaments we got before kids and the "toys" or stuff the kids made. This year it's the toys as many of them came from mom.

11. Snow - love it or hate it? It's lovely in the mountains and It would be nice on Christmas Eve but gone by noon on Christmas day. Just sayin'.

12. Can you ice skate?
I can ice skate, I prefer to roller skate.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
It was the year I got the fancy roller skates. The pristine white boots, the slick wheels. I was so fancy!

Pitzels!

15. What's the most important things about the holidays?
Having the boys come over on Christmas Eve!

We make pitzels but that's way before Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we eat tamales, drink beer and watch "A Christmas Story".

A silver spire for the gold/silver tree and an angel for the "toy" tree.

18. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving?
Giving!


19. Favorite Christmas song?
Religious..."What Child is This?". Non religious.... "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas".

"White Christmas"

We left milk and whatever cookies we made. And baby carrots for the reindeer. Now we just put out the dish and cup. No kiddies at our house!

I always say I know it's Christmas when I smell the pitzels. We used to do these huge, elaborate parties as so many people liked them. We figured we'd have them help make them! Now I just make enough for us and a few friends. It's an awful lot of work, but so worth it! I'm glad you have a friend who shares!

His Lordship just commented that I need to watch that as I hadn't yet. Think I'll go get that out now.
