1. Egg nog or Hot chocolate?
Hot Chocolate… with whip cream. Yum. "Eggnogg makes me throw up!" Abbie introduced us to eggnogg taffy at Walmart. Its ok for eggnog flavored candy but thats as close as I can get.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Duh.....Santa’s 1 present he brings is usually too big to wrap or fit under the tree. Santa usually just sets them out on display by the tree.
3. Colored lights on a tree/house or white.
This year None. I know, sad and pathetic, but I have a weak defense. Brad is so busy. By the time he got done with school to put them up seems silly cuz he would have to take them down before he started school again. Why don't I put them up? Um yeah No way. Guess I'm prejudice but lights are a guy thing. Our "pre-lite" tree is lovely and is covered with clear lights. (First year we haven't argued over the tree lights.)
4. Do I hang mistletoe?
No, I don’t need to hang a poisonous plant that causes acute gatrointestinal problems including stomach pain, and diarrhea to give or get kisses 
5. When do I put up my decorations?
We like to do it the weekend after Thanksgiving either fri or sat, it just depends on if were out fighting black friday crowds. This year we did it on friday
6. What is my favorite holiday dish?
This is loaded question. I love any of the dishes my mom makes, but homemade toffee is my MOST favorite holiday treat.
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child?
Another loaded question all of my holiday memories are of the fun family traditions we have and being able to do them with all my siblings!! My Dad has always been insistant that we are home for the Christmas and as an adult I really appreciate this. I love our sweet traditions and wonderful memories.
8. When and how did I learn the truth about Santa?
I have NO idea what this question is refering to… 
9. Do we open a Christmas gift on Christmas Eve?
Every year… its always our matchy matchy jammies. My mom has kept this tradition going even as we have become adults and gotten married and had kids. Everyone get matching jams I LOVE it!!
10. How do I decorate our tree?
Very carefully! Our tree is only decorated on the top 2/3. The bottom has only lights. Luke thinks the ornaments are toys and wouldn't leave them alone. When we decorate the tree the boys get to pick (within designated area) where to put the ornaments. This year Luke threw Brads baby ornament thinking it was a ball and yeah broke it. So if any of you have a precious moments 1979 baby ornament and don't want it we would love to take it off your hands.
11. Can I ice skate?
I used ta could
12. Can I remember my favorite gift?
Not only my favorite gift but my most precious gifts are my kids. They bring me such joy and happiness. My sweet hubby is also my most favorite gift. I really don't care about stuff, its just stuff.
13. What is the most important thing about the holidays for me?
Carrying on our family traditions and helping my kids feel the spirit, magic, and reason for the season.
14. What is my favorite holiday dessert?
Hum, Not even a hard question. My Moms homemade toffee, fudge and cashew turtles. Yeah pretty much the best things ever. We inhale during the holidays and crave the rest of the year.
15. What is my favorite holiday tradition?
Cant name a favorite so I will try and name them all:
Putting up the treee while watching Christmas Vacation
Shopping and wrapping presents
Nutcracker performances
Christmas Carol play at Hale center Theater
Driving to see the lights with hot chocolate
Brendas yearly party
Santa picture with the sibs at the mall
Christmas Jammies
Moms Christmas eve party
Christmas Eve “stories” at my moms
Having my sweet husband home from school and not having to watch him study or type papers. I get to spend time with him watching movies and just giggleing and laughing. He is the best and I am so proud of him.
What tops my tree.
A star
17. What do I prefer - Giving or receiving?
Giving. It is way more fun to give.
18. What is my favorite Christmas song?
I have SO many I love. Anything by Manheim Steamroller, Josh Groban, or Trans-siberian Orchestra, but my absolute fav is probably the Christmas music my sisters and I get togethar and play ( Hint: girls hope your planning on it.) (Yeah Hilary even you!)
19. Candy Canes?
The boys love them. Only the red and white ones. The other candy flavored ones are just wrong. This year the boys went and rode the "Polar Express" and at the North Pole Santa taught them the meaning of the candy cane. It was great.
20. How are you going to spend this years Holiday?
We are very lucky that we have both families so close. So we get to see both sides for every holiday. We will do Christmas eve at my moms. Then at midnight I will enjoy a lovely 6 hours at work taking care of sick children. As soon as I get home we will see what Santa brought and open gifts. We will scamper to Nannys for an incredible Christmas breakfast and more presents then we will spend the rest of the day with Grandma and Grandpa Garrett. We will proabably all be exhausted but its the very best part of christmas and we love it.
