> 1. Egg nog or hot chocolate?
The nod goes to the nog.> 2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
In the Old Days, some were left unwrapped. Under New Administration, all are wrapped. Including at least one Trick Wrapped® gift. E.g. something light and small wrapped in a big box with rocks at the bottom, for decoy effect. Or, 11 layers of bubble wrap. Bubble wrap's a gift too, right?
> 3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Coloured. Note the 'u'.
> 4. Do you hang mistletoe?
No.
> 5. When do you put your decorations up?
Gosh, dang, Christmas Eve if it comes to it. It is therefore more respectful to the importance of the Christmas Spirit that the ornaments/tree occasionally remain up until March, to compensate.
> 6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Turkey with stuffing and gravy.
> 7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
The train set. Getting up and finding out that Santa had even warmed it up! Yes! The transformer was still warm to the touch.
> 8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
Never really believed that story in the first place.
> 9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
No, not lately.
> 10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him?
Chocolate chip! Oreos? The horrors!
> 11. Snow!
Dread.
> 12. Can you ice skate?
Since I broke my tailbone 25 years ago, the question has become moot.
> 13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
A leather briefcase. I never would have bought one, and couldn't do without it from the moment I first used it.
> 14. What is the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Family.
> 15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
My grandma used to make this clear gooey peppermint sauce, over vanilla ice cream. It was just the most exotic thing I had ever seen.
> 16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Just being together. All scrubbed and dressed and fed and together.
> 17. What tops your tree?
A gold angel.
> 18. Which do you prefer Giving or Receiving?
Giving. It's a good thing. Don't get much of the other.
> 19. What is your favorite Christmas Carol?
Silent Night.
> 20. Candy Canes!
Red and white peppermint. Accept no substitutions.
