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.

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

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