In Honor of Spincerely (who tagged me!)
Hardly Dashing Through the Snow
A Christmas meme borrowed from Annarella Handmade.
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Totally hot chocolate, with minimarshmallows please.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? Wraps them every year. Each child has their own special wrap so everyone can tell whose is whose.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I like the white ones.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No
5. When do you put up your decorations? Over the long Thanksgiving weekend.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? My husband.
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? Christmas day dinners with the whole extended family.
8. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No.
9. What kind of decorations are on your Christmas tree? All different kinds — from handpainted to Hallmark.
10. Snow! Love it or dread it? Love it except for driving in it. But mostly love it.
11. Can you ice skate? Only if you want to laugh so hard you wet your pants!
12. Do you remember your favorite gift? I have a tendency to love everything I get, so picking a favorite is too hard.
13. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Spending time with my family. Also, the days start getting longer again. Good answer, works for me too.
14. What is your favorite holiday dessert? cookies
15. What is your favorite holiday tradition? hmmmm... I think cutting down the tree together at Angevines (if you look closely there is even a pic of my kids on their website!)
16. What tops your tree? An angel.
17. What is your favorite holiday book? The Polar Express and Twas the Night Before Christmas and numerous versions of the Gingerbread Man. I still remember reading them all to my classes and having lots of fun with it.
18. What is your favorite Christmas song? Love them all. Really love, Winter Wonderland.
19. Candy canes? Yes. I wonder how many WW points they are.

Good job Jenny!!! Yay!!!! When do we get to see you ice skate????
Speaking of ice skating... Reese has an ice skating party to attend tomorrow. He's never ice skated, but I think I'm going to let him tough it out on his own. I haven't skated since I was about 17, and if I fall on my knee, as bad as it already is, I'll probably wind up in traction.
