Christmas Questions...

My friend Tiffany posted this... it sounded like fun.

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot chocolate; 2-3 packets, lots of whipped cream...

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa? Try Mrs. Claus.... but some are left out... he helps in that department :)

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? White on tree... Ebenezer (Merrill...) is too scroogy to put them up on the house, or is it take them down? Love you punkley ;)!

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No. See above... Ebenezer doesn't like kissing this smart mouth much.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Probably stuffing, or mashed potatoes and gravy...

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yup... PJs... all matching. This year there will be... 19? Right, Darlene?

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Branches go on, one layer at a time, lights going on while Merrill is putting on the branches... then the details... our yearly Christmas Eve picture ornaments go up while we look back on how young we were... how cute the girls were... when they weren't smiling... girls trying to see how many ornaments they can squeeze on to one square foot of tree... the little pink angel from my cousin Curtis' tree goes near the top.
Oh... and Merrill is singing his "Own Version" of Christmas songs that are playing on the radio... every year there is a new lyric substituted, I'd post but I would probably have to censor...
