Christmas Questionnaire

http://fabulousinfirst.blogspot.com/

I am linking up with Fabulous in First for this Christmas Questionnaire.

Hot Chocolate or Egg Nog?
Hot chocolate!!! I like it with marshmallows, whipped cream, and some chocolate sprinkles on top.
Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
As a kid Santa usually left one unwrapped and the rest wrapped. My son’s gifts from Santa have always been wrapped.
Colored Lights or White?
I love white lights and that is what is on my tree and my house. This year however I have added some multi colored lights inside my house. I do kind of like the multi colored lights maybe they are growing on me.
When do you decorate?
I usually decorate the day after Thanksgiving and take my decorations down the day after Christmas. This year however I was too tired from black Friday shopping so it had to wait until Saturday.
Real or Fake Tree?
As a kid we always had a real tree. As an adult my husband and I have always had a fake tree. I HATE straightening out all of the branches, but I don’t have to worry about watering it so I guess it’s equal.
What tops your tree?
A silver wire star.
Favorite Christmas Memories or Traditions?
As a kid one of the things I remember most is when my grandparents use to come over on Christmas eve to drop off our gifts. Now we make a point to go visit them before Christmas. Here is one of my favorite pics from about5 years ago. My son Josh and our dog Katy. 

Do you remember your favorite gift as a child?
My memory is terrible so I only vaguely remembering my gifts. I do remember I loved my Cabbage Patch doll, big wheel, and a beautiful blue dress (a teacher gave this to me during a particularly difficult Christmas for my family). 
Do you prefer giving or receiving?
Don’t get me wrong I think receiving gifts is nice, but I LOVE giving gifts to others. I love finding the just right gift for my family or friends. I love watching others open gift (but hate to have people watch me).
What is your favorite Christmas Song?
I would have to say....It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. 
Candy Canes. Yuk or Yum?
As a kid I use to get the thick straight candy canes in my stocking and I loved them. Now I could take or leave candy canes.
Favorite Christmas Movie?
I basically like most of the cheesy Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. They are very predictable, but are romantic and funny. I also love the fact that my husband who doesn’t love these movies still let’s me watch tons of them this time of year. 
Do you shop online or at stores?
I am kind of an immediate gratification person so I like to shop in stores and get my items in my hands as soon as possible. I am not against shopping online and do it if the item someone wants can’t be bought in stores or if the store doesn’t have what I want, but I would rather just go to the store and by what I need.
Photo Card, Letter, or Store Bought Card?
I have always just used store bought cards….until this year.  
 May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. ~Erica
