1. Eggnog or hot chocolate? Chocolate

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? Santa always wraps half of the presents, but sometimes leaves the other half in paper bags depending on how busy he's been - (don't look at me!!!) (o:

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Coloured if i decorate one of the spruce trees, and white if I decorate the Sugar Maple (varies from year to year).

4. Do you hang mistletoe? Nope, but maybe i should!

5. When do you put your decorations up? i don't decorate too much anymore, but i *did* decorate the spruce tree outside the bedroom window just for the NNBM last year... so, guess that would be about now. (it's on the "to do list" for this week).

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? a vegetarian bread dressing.

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? Our big dog chasing an impostor Santa Claus in a fancy cutter sleigh down the street in front of our house while Santa yelled and snapped his buggy whip in the air as he tried to get away. My dog came home looking particularly proud of himself for putting the run on the fake Santa!

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? What?! There is NO SANTA???!!!

9. Do you open gifts Christmas Eve or Christmas morning? Christmas morning

10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? When i used to, it had a lot of little feather birds and coloured lights. Mostly older decorations that had been around for a long time. Not much shiny stuff other than some tinsel.

11. Snow - Love it or dread it? Love it right at Christmas. After that, it might be nice if most of it went away... at least occasionally.

12. Can you ice skate? Yes. For sure! You have to when you live near the city with the longest skating rink in the world!

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? (as a child) The wooden rocking horse that my Dad and Mom made for me. i probably have some pictures of it somewhere around here. Maybe i'll hang them up on the tree if i find them.

14. What's the most exciting thing about the holidays for you? Taking off hiking into the pine forests on snowshoes.

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? hmm... Cranberry and Ida Red apple pie.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Seeing what we got in our Christmas stockings on Christmas morning. We usually sit on the bed with our dog, checking everything out while doing lots of laughing and oohing and ahhhing at the ridiculous stuff we give each other -- stuff like wind-up mice, water pistols, chocolate bars, magazines, etc...

17. What tops your tree? When i used to put one up, it was a beautiful little deer with very tall antlers all covered with sparkly silver stuff.

18. Which do you prefer - giving or receiving presents? giving

19. What is your favorite Christmas song? Not a particular song, but all of the soundtrack from A Charlie Brown Christmas

20. What do you most like to find in your Christmas stocking? Funny surprises!
