Eliza tagged “The Original Tink”, so I’m going to ASSume she’s talking about me
1. Hot Chocolate or apple cider?
Yes, thank you.
2. Turkey or Ham?
This year, it’s standing rib roast.
3. Do you get a fake or real-you-cut-it-yourself Christmas tree?
We’ve been doing the fake tree for years now. It’s nice to know what to expect when you take the tree out of storage.
4. Decorations on the outside of your house?
Newp.
5. Snowball fights or sleddin’?
Sleddin. We live at the bottom of a kickin hill
6. Do you enjoy going downtown shopping?
I’d rather have a wisdom tooth extracted during natural childbirth.
7. Favorite Christmas song?
I have to pick one??!!?? Only one??!!??
8. How do you feel about Christmas movies?
Once is enough.
9. When is it too early to start listening to Christmas music?
Before Thanksgiving.
10. Stockings before or after presents?
When we did them, stockings were a Christmas Eve event.
11. Carolers, do you or do you not watch and listen to them?
People really do that? Who’d'a thunk it??!!??
12. Go to someone else’s house or they come to you?
When I was a child, we always went to my Mamaw’s. Now we stay home. I guess that means “neither”.
13. Do you read the Christmas Story? If so when?
The children’s book version is added to the bedtime story pile the week before Christmas. We don’t usually read the story from the Bible unless we’re in a church service.
14. What do you do after presents and dinner?
Sit back with the camera and watch the kids ignore the toys and play with the boxes.
15. What is your favorite holiday smell?
Mulling spices gently competing with Mamaw’s Tea Cakes baking.
16. Ice skating or walking around the mall?
See #6.
17. Do you open a present or presents on Christmas Eve, or wait until Christmas day?
We open one present on Christmas Eve (if you’ve been GOOD!), and the rest on Christmas day.
18. Favorite Christmas memory?
They’re mostly “had to be there” moments.
19. Favorite part about winter?
It leads into spring.
20. Ever been kissed under mistletoe?
Newp.
