22 Christmas Questions

This responsory list is making the rounds in the blogosphere. Thanks to Chris for yet another distraction for reading week!!!

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate…especially with a little peppermint schnapps. Mmmmmmmmmm.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wraps of course, otherwise there is nothing to tear into on Christmas morning!

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored on the tree. House White and some tasteful splashes of color. Just no houses decked in blue, especially the driveway. It looks like an airport.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No. But I am certainly not opposed to it either.

5. When do you put your decorations up? Used to put them up after Thanksgiving, now I don’t decorate, cause I live in a dorm room. And the bulk of the holidays are spent at the folks house anyway.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Ham and Scalloped potatoes.

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? Doing a Christmas production for the family with my cousins at Grandma’s house. Especially when we made the only boy be “Pinky” the elf one year.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? What do you mean the truth about Santa?

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Sometimes, but not usually.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? Lights, Garland and sentimental family ornaments.

11. Snow! Love it or dread it? Having grown up in Oklahoma…snow? What’s that? Oh that white powdery stuff. Would love to see some.

12. Can you ice skate? Nope. Never been able to.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? My 2 front teeth? Actually legos, recently.

14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Theologically I’ll agree with Chris, the Incarnation. Otherwise, fun times with family and friends, particularly my nephews Josh and Jayson.

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? Fudge

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Waking up to loud, brassy Christmas carols on Christmas morning or Orchestra Sunday at First Presbyterian Church in Norman.

17. What tops your tree? An angel.

18. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? Yes!

19. What is your favorite Christmas song? Too many to pick.

20. Candy canes: yuck or yum? Yum for a few weeks, then yuck.

21. Favorite Christmas movie? How the Grinch Stole Christmas, I love Dr. Suess.

22. What do you leave for Santa? Christmas cookies, milk and a carrot for Rudolph.

Monica, Paps, Tim, Paul….who’s next?
