Christmas In My House

Posted by: cassie | Comments (0)

I decided maybe you would like to know more about how I celebrate the holidays. Who wouldn’t want to know that am I right? I found this over at Musings of a Housewife.

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? To be honest I have never had egg nog. That is right folks..NEVER. It looks like Hot Chocolate will be the winner for me.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa does wrap the presents. In his special santa wrapping paper. In his special wrapping way.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? This year the tree is covered in white lights. I normally prefer colored lights. However, we had some issues with this stupid fabulous pre-lit tree that isn’t working.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? Nope. I never have. Honestly, I don’t ever see it anymore.

5. When do you put your decorations up? Soon after Thanksgiving. If we are lucky.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Cookies!!

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? I loved all of the presents. There I said it. I was obsessed with the material things that made up Christmas.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I was six years old. I asked my mother and she told me. Then end.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? We usually did. We spend our Christmas Eve with my side of the family. Normally, we receive those gifts then.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? White or Colored lights and a massive collection of decorations. Mostly from my childhood and now Aidens.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Dread it. It is cold. It is messy. It is just gross.

12. Can you ice skate? Very Funny…

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Not really no. I tend to favor gifts I buy myself. I am a hard person to buy for. FYI

14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? I just enjoy the traditions. Baking cookies, doing crafts, decorating the tree. All of the special little things I get to pass on to my child.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? COOKIES

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Baking Cookies…sigh..

17. What tops your tree? A star.

18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving? Normally I am a big gift giver. This year I am just not feeling it.

19. Candy Canes: Yuck or Yum? Meh.

20 Favorite Christmas Show? The Grinch is taking over our house this year.

21. Saddest Christmas Song? The slow songs make me tear up from time to time.

22. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Rudolph…Yes I sing it loudly.
