the Christmas survey




1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? definitely hot chocolate--I drink it year-round

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wraps them... although, lately "he" gift bags them

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? gold and red on the tree, none on the house

4. Do you hang mistletoe? when I have someone special to smooch

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? chex mix, Grammy's peanut clusters or cupa-cupa-cupa

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? uhmmmmm... playing our "family" Christmas album with my sisters and dancing around, or singing or whatever we did to entertain ourselves--when I hear the album now, it really takes me back

8. Best gift you've given to someone? I am not sure--I like to think I'm a thoughtful gift-giver

12. Can you ice skate? I used to... donno if I can anymore

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? my friend Melissa gave me a red leather overnight bag that I'd been lusting after for a long time... it was a great surprise, I almost started bawling!

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? riding around Christmas Eve to look at the luminaries

18. Which do you prefer Giving or Receiving? giving--I love everything about it--shopping, picking up just the right gift, wrapping... all of it

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? yum--especially Bob's brand (the really soft melt-in-your-mouth stix)

Eggnog!

Hiya... I couldn't find an email address for ya... just wanted to tell ya that you'd have to dig deep for anything at all about me going to Alaska... don't believe I've mentioned much nor have I labeled any misc posts.

One of these days I'll delve into it plus I'll include and apply labels for miscellaneous topics to make such info easy to find. Really right now I just label movies and music for the most part.

Now why is eggnog only sold in November and December? It's great anytime of year! (Not sure i'd have any during summer but when it's cold, why not?!)

Adios :)
