I have had a rough morning, it of course has to do with money. I actually cried all the way home from the bank. Instead  of posting about that I have decided that I need to post something that is nothing but fluff, so here is my holiday meme.

 1. Eggnogg or hot chocolate? I actually don't really like either. If I had to choose one it would be hot chocolate.
2. Letter to Santa?
                    - Dear Santa, Please bring me a winning lottery ticket.
3. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? He wraps them, unwrapping them and guessing what you have is half the fun.
4. Colored lights on your tree/house or white? We have multi-colored lights on our tree. We don't have any on the house.
5. Do you hang mistletoe?Nope - but I have been known to carry it around and whenever I see a cute guy pull it out. Ok, so I am actually making that up. I have never actually even seen mistletoe.

6. When do you put your decorations up?Sometime the week after Thanksgiving.

7. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?We don't have a specific dish we always cook. It changes every year.

8. Favorite holiday memory as a child: On Christmas eve we always ate clam chowder with oyster crackers by candle and christmas tree light, and then my dad would read Twas the Night Before Christmas, and then we would open ppresents.

9. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?I snuck downstairs one year when I was maybe about 8. i saw my parents setting up a big fish tank and the next morning it was there from Santa.Honestly it didn't devestate me or anything, so I may have already not believed in him much.

10. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? I don't usually have any Christmas presents, but my kids open the presents from each other on Christmas eve.  

11. How do you decorate your Christmas tree?It is a mix of all different ornaments that we have collected at random places through the years. I usually string the lights and then my kids put the ornaments up.

12. Can you ice skate?Not really. I tend to trip myself with the toe picks.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Years ago I got big huge black and white pictures of my kids that still hang in my livingroom.

14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Giving my kids a sense of tradition.

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? Pumpkin cheesecake

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? We still do the same Christmas eve that I posted above. That is still my favorite.

17. What tops your tree?We had an angel until last year, but it broke and we haven't replaced it.

18. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving?Giving, because honestly I don't really like stuff. I am the anti-packrat.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? I don't know that I have one. I like most Christmas songs.

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? Yum...especially the new sour patch ones.
