Egg Nog or hot chocolate? I've never had egg nog, the words give me a gross taste in mouth, so I haven't tried it. Hot chocolate is ok.

Do you hang mistletoe? I haven't before. I'm smoochy anyhow and rarely need an additional reason to pucker up.

When do you put up your decorations? This year, the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Favorite holiday memory as a child: Opening the home-made gifts we make each year.

When did you learn the truth about Santa? Second grade, someone told me the truth and I didn't believe it. So, I asked my teacher if it was true, and she said yes. Then, I went home to ask my mom. She said it was true too. I then asked her, "But, what about the Easter Bunny?" And, she said to think hard about it and I'd figure it out. Good thing I still believe in the Easter Bunny and he isn't a fake like Santa!

Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Only the home-made ones.

How do you decorate your Christmas tree? Presently, I have hand-me-down bulbs from my mom and some lights.

Snow: I haven't seen it actually fall from the sky in YEARS. I hope this year will break that trend... just not as I am walking to the train station. =)

Can you ice skate? Barely... I am too afraid to lift my left foot, so I just kind of push along with my right. Think: skateboarding.

Do you remember your favorite gift? I don't have a favorite, but my favoriteS are the home-made ones.

What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Being close to family and friends and celebrating the love and tradition that is inside us all.

What’s your favorite holiday dessert? Pumpkin pie.

What’s your favorite holiday tradition? Our home-made gifts.... I REALLY like this part of Christmas!

What tops your tree? Air and probably dust. I need to buy a star...

Which do you prefer giving or receiving? I LOVE giving gifts. This year, I have too much stuff stored in the top of my closet. Things I bought throughout the year with someone in mind...

What’s your favorite Christmas song? Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Candy canes – yum or yuck? Yum!
