1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Momma used to make eggnog from yard eggs and Skol vodka. To this day I won?t touch an egg.

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

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Lots and lots and lots of lights. Still have those huge glass colored lights that hummm when a bulb is loose.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No, that's for rich folks and Yankees. We don't need an excuse to make out.

5. When do you put your decorations up? Usually a day or two before Christmas; then we wait for a big rain completely knock down our 8ft snowman before we hall it off to the garbage.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Cranberries. Not from the can.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Thanksgiving in Wewahitchka with my 12 aunts and 42 first-cousins. My uncle gave us all pocket knives and we would whittle till the food was ready.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? What do you mean? Truth?

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yes. Kids get P.J.s (Foley's leant us that tradition until we get original enough to come up with our own)

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? All kids of ornaments, toys, lights, hand-made frames, baby shoes, flowers, popcorn and tinsel. Nothing matches the sofa for sure.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? I don't really know enough about it to comment.

12. Can you ice skate? Last night, at Baytowne, I gave it my best girl-scout effort.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Mrs. Beasley doll. She had yellow hair, glasses and polka dots.

14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Giving.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Momma's cherry cream-cheese pie. (She will also make blueberry, but it is not as good)

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? The girls are grown, but they still love writing to Santa, and he always writes back even after all these years.

17. What tops your tree? Nothing tops my tree...my tree is the tops!

18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving? I love to give. I also like receiving stuff (that I usually re-gift when we go and visit the other side of the family)

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? River. Joni Mitchell

20. Candy Canes? Have stripes and come in an array of colors and sizes. They can be found on my tree as well.

Aawww, good answers...

I am a bah humbug! No more lights outside - used to be white. Christmas tree with only gold and white ornaments. Dread putting it up! Just my husband and a 20 year old son and 17 year old son. Miss my family back home in NOLA. Used to have a huge Christmas party on Christmas eve with my 28 cousins. Parents are deceased and some aunts and uncles too. Can't wait til it's over. Want to start a Christmas tradition of going away some where. I'll make Christmas bread pudding with amaretta sauce and drink lots of Chardonnay!!!!!!
