Here goes my edited version...
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Definately both! But I'm pretty sure humans are not supposed to drink much egg nog, The Cocoa Motion is running all winter though and Zach's learned how to make it now, (although a few watery failures.)
2. Wrapped or unwrapped presents? If you can wrap it, it gets wrapped. I'm the worst wrapper though. I sometimes tell people that my kids wrap b-day gifts when it was really me.
3. Colored or white lights on tree or house? Is this a prejudice question? I have white on house and tree and colored on porch. (Layne was doing the whole house colored but they ran out at Costco after he was half way done, so we switched.)
4. Do I hang mistletoe? In our condo I did (newlyweds) but now our ceiling is too high (boring) My friend told me she has a tree in her bedroom though and many "presents" are given all month, so lucky them!
5. When do I decorate? Thanksgiving weekend, and I have to admit Layne does 90% of the work!
6. Favorite holiday memory as a child? Just trying to go to sleep and dreaming of all the gifts.
7. When did I learn about Santa? 6th grade my dad took me to Mcdonalds for a sundae and broke the news. You "know" but "maybe" is still there. Then I got to be an elf and when the little kids went to bed I filled their stockings and helped finish wrapping. It was cool.
8. Can I remember my favorite gift? I love the cedar chest Layne made the christmas we were engaged!
9. Favorite holiday treat? Homemade toffee, with chocolate and nuts. And pretty much everything else!
10. Holiday traditions? Making gingerbread houses growing up, looking at lights, going to see the live nativity by our house, some fun original game for our party like race cars, or shooting pellet guns, or Jeopardy, or D.I. Christmas, P.J.'s on Christmas Eve, stories and songs.
11. Favorite Christmas song? I love The First Noel cause that's my name. I just love all the songs and so I sing in the choir so their in my head. Last week I had to tell my friend Dana during practice to "Stop It!" cause she could not stop crying through all the songs and it was contageous. I love the spirit the songs messages bring!
