Twenty...umm...One Questions. Christmas Style!

1. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?

Now they are all wrapped but when we were little I think there was one unwrapped.

2. Colored lights on house/tree or white lights?

Always white!

3. Do you hang mistletoe?

Nope...but I would like to. I'll put that on the list for next year..good excuse to steal some smooches.

4. When do you put your decorations up?

Always the weekend before Thanksgiving. Very stress free!

5. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?

Johnny's beef tenderloin. Yum!

6. Favorite holiday memory as a child?

My mom, Luke, and I driving to Kansas City, sometimes in the snow, to go see our family. I don't know if it was on Holidays in particular, but I remember singing U2, Bonnie Rait (spelling?), "Big Girls Don't Cry", and "A Horse With No Name". Random memories I know....Also, Grandma always had those big colored lights on a real tree, which I thought was cool.

7. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?

I don't really remember...I'm sure Luke ruined the surprise.

8. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?

Well....times have changed. We've never really stuck with one tradition for a long time. But for a few years now, since Luke and I are always spending Christmas with 2 families, we've celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve with my mom and Johnny.

9. How do you decorate your tree?

Right now? Random with white lights. Next year? Lime greens and reds I hope. I hoping to hit up the after Christmas sales and do the whole huge ornament big ribbon thing.

10. Snow! Love it or dread it?

Love it!

11. Do you remember your favorite gift?

Dustin got me my wedding band last year for Christmas. I had told him I was fine with just the engagement ring...but he insisted and I love it!

12. What is the most important thing about the holidays for you?

Being with family and seeing friends at our annual Seniorita Christmas party we've had since we were the "senior chicks" at Northside! Ha!

13. What is your favorite holiday dessert?

Corky's (Dustin's dad's) peanut butter balls

14. What is your favorite holiday tradition?

Putting up Christmas decorations.

15. Which do you prefer-giving or receiving?

Both are really fun!

16. What is your favorite Christmas song?

You can probably hear it...Baby It's Cold Outside and Breath of Heaven by Amy Grant

17. Candy Canes-yum or yuck?

flavored=yum

18. What do you want for Christmas?

a house! far-fetched, I know

19. Do you attend an annual Christmas party?

Yep, Seniorita Christmas. Although this year we are calling it "Seniors and Senioritas" because we're getting old. Margaritas, 7-layer mexican dip, gossip, old friends...it's the best!

21. Do you own a Santa hat?

No and No, thank you. Actually....I have WORN one before. On Christmas Day in Barbados, the catamaran workers put one on me. I did not bring it! And dont' judge my sun glasses. It was so 5 years ago.
