Another Damn Holiday Survey
Got this from the New Girl last year! Hey, New Girl, I still need that recipe for Candy Cane Pie!
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
EGG NOG!!!!!! You can get hot chocolate any old time. And how can you resist the word nog?
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Who the hell wants unwrapped presents? If Santa's not wrapping your presents, he probably doesn't really like you.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
BOTH!
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
No way. I already have enough people trying to kiss me.
5. When do you put your decorations up?
I start Nov. 1, and if I'm not done by Thanksgiving, I start freaking out.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
STUFFING!!! And no weird-ass, oyster, sausage, raisin stuffing, either. Just bread, sage, celery, onions.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Going to Gramma O's house for Christmas Eve because didn't make me eat dinner to get dessert, and falling asleep on the way home in the back of the station wagon with all the presents. Everything in between is kind of a blur.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
Santa's gay??? Probably 2nd or 3rd grade, from a friend. Probably Melinda. But the fun part was that Billi believed in Santa for one more year, so I got to be in on the big secret and keep the dream alive for one more year for her. That was cool.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
We open LOTS of gifts on Christmas Eve. Almost all. Stockings and small gifts are for Christmas Day. I think it's a Scandihoovian thing that Eve is bigger than Day.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
Which one? We have MANY! The do go by theme, tho'. Would you expect anything less?
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It's beautiful, and dealing with it builds character!
12. Can you ice skate?
HAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Um, no.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
I don't remember what I did yesterday for 2 hours. Seriously, I'm missing a whole block of time after noon. Don't ask me about remembering. I only remember the Tollhouse Chocolate Cookie recipe and people who have wronged me.
14. What's the most exciting thing about Christmas for you?
Watching my niece and three nephews open presents.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Anything made with almond paste.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Eating. Calories be damned!
17. What tops your tree?
A Barbie angel.
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving?
Depends on the other participant. Some people are great givers; some... are better at getting.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
Today? "Merry Christmas, Darling" by The Carpenters.
20. Candy Canes?
Boring alone, good when part of a larger dessert, like cookies or a pie. HINT, HINT, New Girl!
Comments
the fact that a barbie angel tops your tree is just bewildering and awesome to me all at the same time. reading that answer over and over makes this survey for me. lol.
