Christmas Questionnaire

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot chocolate ...egg nog is ookie! .
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrapped ...!!!!

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I love to look at houses with all kinds of lights! multi colored are my favorite I think! White ones are pretty on more elegant trees! I have a fiber optic tree that over heats, so I can't leave it on too long, but it's multi colored. I love outside lights, but I live vicariously through my neighbors and friends, because, well let's face it, I fall down going to the bathroom!

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No, but it would be fun to have it hung. No, I have no-one to kiss under it so therefore, it would not fill the measure of it's creation if it lived at my house! (Sad but true)


5. When do you put up your decorations? Week end after Thanksgiving as a rule, however, if you get called to be the activities committe chairman and freak out 'til after the ward Christmas party, it will put a delay in the home decorations! So, this year it wasn't until Dec 7th

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? As a kid we could open one presant and it was always pajamas!
