1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Egg Nog

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrapped

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored (but I love white on other houses - just have had mine so long and I'm too cheap to change them out.)

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No - but this might be a good year to start (like maybe over my desk at the office - LOL!)

5. When do you put your decorations up? sometime after Thanksgiving (and as late as just a few days before Xmas - just works out that way some years.)

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? we're big on appetizer buffets and I always loved the little smokies wrapped in crescent rolls (some people call them pigs in blankets.) But they really aren't a food I'd indulge in anymore (maybe just one!)

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Caroling with all the kids in the neighborhood - we'd get enough tips/donations to have one heck of a pizza party afterwards

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? don't remember

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? always

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? I always do the big one in the living room myself and I'm a perfectionist - everything has to be very symmetrical and even. Then I let the kids have at it with a smaller tree in the family room (and both trees are fake.)

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Well if I can just look at it from inside or play in it and don't have to drive in it, I love it.
