Addicted to Christmas

I just got home from getting a tree for my kids at school. They wanted one and Target had a good one for a good price. I got gift tags instead of ornements. This was they are cute but still won't break. I'll probably have a picture of it up soon. I saw Erin's blog and decided to do it too. Merry Christmas!

*Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot chocolate (especially from Starbucks!)

*Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? wrap in color coded gifts so we know who they belong to

*Colored lights on tree/house or white? white (Unless we are at the Griswald's house in Houston!)

*Favorite Holiday memory as a child: Erin and I would always wake Mom and Dad VERY early. Favorite time was in high school (sad but true), we misread a clock and got them up at 4:30 a.m. They weren't too happy when we all realized it. Oops!

*When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I asked Mom in 5th grade. Talk about disappointed!

*Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? on even numbered years in Houston

*How do you decorate your Christmas tree? While watching a Christmas movie and drinking hot chocolate

*Do you remember your favorite gift? Nope

*What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Time with the family and friends without having to rush back to work or feel guilty about it.

*What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Fat Ladies!

*What is your favorite holiday tradition? Opening stockings first or driving round and looking at lights

*What tops your tree? a big maroon bow

*Which do you prefer giving or Receiving? giving - especially it I know they will like it!

*What is your favorite Christmas Song? either The Christmas Song, White Christmas, or Silent Night

*Candy Canes - Yuck or Yum? Not so much

*Shop all year round for gifts or are you last minute shopper? Plan for months but shop last minute

*What's your favorite holiday movie and why? Serious would have to be It's a Wonderful Life. Talk about a great reminder of what's important! Funny is Christmas Vacation with the Huttons and Kellys.
