Christmas meme!

Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Uh. Ew. Neither, thank you. Soy latte instead, please?

Does Santa wrap presents or set them under the tree? Santa buys his wrapping paper at WalMart, thank you.

Colored lights on tree or white? Colored.

When do you put your decorations up? I like them up the day after Thanksgiving. I take them down the day after Christmas.

What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Cranberry salad.

When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? *arches an eyebrow* When I was twelve. My cocker spaniel ran away after Thanksgiving and the only thing I asked Santa for was my dog back. Christmas day, there was a knock on the door and someone had my Swartz-dog. That's when I learned the truth. I believe, baby.

Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? When I (and the child) was little, we got one present. It was always crayons and color books. :D

How do you decorate your Christmas tree? It depends. We usually have a tree with all the special ornaments, but we have young dogs, so this year we have a white tree with rainbow lights and unbreakable rainbow ornaments...

Snow! Love it or Dread it? Snow? What is this snow you speak of?

Can you ice skate? Nope.

Do you remember your favorite gift? *ponders* My Cherry baby. Although, when I was eleven, I got Jem and her whole band Barbie dolls (well, I got two and Kristi got two, but I played with them). I loved them.

What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? the stories.

What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Before the allergies? Sugar cookies without sugar or icing and jello cookies. Now? Meringues.

What is your favorite tradition? the music.

Which do you prefer, Giving or Receiving? This is a bullshit question. If you say receiving, you're a selfish bastard; if you say receiving it sounds overly pc and self-righteous. I like thinking about people and being thought about.

What is your favorite Christmas Song? "Go Tell It On the Mountain"

Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? I don't hate them, but I don't particularly like them. I like mint and chocolate together, though.

Ever recycled a Christmas present? Yup.
