Wenchie's Cop-Out Christmas Survey Entry
Some days, I'm just not as inspired as others, ya know? Today's one of those days. A day of drivel, as I like to call it. Enjoy!
1. What is your favorite Christmas song?
"The Twelve Days of Christmas" by John Denver and the Muppets. I'm sorry, but Miss Piggy just never gets old. Oh, and I can tell you what my favorite Christmas song isn't. Bruce Springstein's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." I have Husband so trained that he runs to the radio to shut it off whenever that piece of crap comes on.
2. What is your favorite Christmas movie or cartoon?
"A Christmas Story." Every scene is pure gold.
3. What is your favorite treat/dessert during the holidays?
MARZIPAN!
4. What is your favorite festive drink, alcoholic or non?
Eggnog, alcoholic or non.
5. Do you open your gifts Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
BOTH! And get this -- we open some Christmas Eve, some Christmas Day in the morning, and some Christmas Day after dinner!
6. What is the best gift you ever received and from whom?
A Tiffany charm bracelet from Husband.
7. What is one thing you are hoping to receive this year?
Pirate Barbie, but that's not real likely, considering her price tag.
8. Prefer dark meat or white?
White. I can't eat dark meat because it might trigger a gout attack. Seriously. Gout.
9. Cranberry sauce or gravy?
Not a big fan of either, frankly. I'm a stuffing gal all the way.
10. If you've traveled during the holidays, when and where did you go?
Husband's whole family converges on his parents' farm house every weekend following Christmas. It's in Indiana. The drive is boring, but the farm is beautiful, and everyone's really nice. I can almost forgive them for having no booze in the house.
11. What is one holiday memory you'd rather forget?
I'll tell you when my family is all dead.
12. Do you like to listen to Christmas music?
Yes, but not just any old crap. I like The Charlie Brown Christmas album, John Denver & the Muppets, The Carpenters' Christmas Portrait, the Bare Naked Ladies' Christmas album, and Mr. Hanky's Christmas Classics. Quality stuff.
13. Do you decorate a fake or real tree?
Fake. Has to be because we have it up for 3-4 months.
14. Describe one ornament on your tree or in your house that is special to you?
Husband hand makes a different ornament every year. All different kinds -- he's very crafty. I think my favorite is a little wooden chickadee sitting on a twig. Very simple, very sweet.
15. Do you open gifts neatly and slowly or do you tear them apart quickly?
Slowly. See yesterday's blog.
16. Who do you normally spend Christmas day with?
Billi's in-laws. See tomorrow's blog.
17. If you could send one Christmas wish to the world, what would that be?
If you're driving slowly, get the hell outta the far left lane.
18. If you could see one person on Christmas, who would it be?
Billi's kids, first thing Christmas morning, opening their presents from Santa. Oh, and baby Jesus. I'm supposed to say Jesus, right?
19. Do you like to sing Christmas carols?
Did we just meet? Of course, I do. Especially solo.
20. Do you send out Christmas cards, photos and/or letters?
Just cards. We all know how I feel about letters, and Stella is afraid of the Christmas tree, so the photo just ain't happenin.
