Santa came!
Hi all! Linkup Friday!! Thanks to our amazing hostesses: the DC Trifecta Bloggers (Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, Mar from Mar on the Run, and Cynthia from You Signed Up For What?!). This week's topic is open so I decided to do a Christmas survey I saw last week from Jill Conyers!

This Christmas has been great-we got to get all 7 of the grandkids together for the first time since my cousin was born in July and had some great food on my Mom's side and we will all be together on my Dad's side in a few days. 

But onto the Survey!!!
  1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate-my mom just made the most amazing recipe. However, I am getting more into Eggnog-I like the Eggnog Latte at Starbucks
  2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa just sits presents under the tree as wrapping would take too much time (this is what I have always thought since i was a child). All presents wrapped are from family. 
  3. Colored lights or white lights? I love white lights but colored are so fun. 
  4. Do you hang mistletoe? Yes! finally but it's not real :/
  5. When do you put up decorations? November 1st-no joke. I want the full Nightmare before christmas experience as Halloween, Christmas and Fall all overlap for short period of time. This year my tree went up October 26th and will stay up until January 17th. 
  6. Favorite holiday dish? My grandma's desserts and creamy corn! yummy! 
  7. Favorite holiday memory from when you were a child? waking up at 4:30 am and opening presents. My brother and I could never wait. 
  8. What’s on your Christmas wish list? I don't have much of a list-I always give people odd items I want but don't buy like grapefruit spoons. 
  9. Do you open gifts on Christmas eve? Yes! We usually do a full Christmas on Christmas Eve and have since I was little since my mom has always worked either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. 
  10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? lots of disney ornaments. my tree has lights built in
  11. Snow – love it or dread it? love it! I miss it! 
  12. Real or fake tree? I love real but don't buy them...yet. My tree is fake for now. 
  13. What’s the most important thing about Christmas for you? the real meaning of Christmas-Jesus' birthday! 
  14. Favorite holiday dish (dessert)? warm drinks
  15. What is your favorite tradition? driving around and looking at Christmas lights
  16. What tops your tree? a yellow star-I want to get a tinkerbell eventually
  17. Giving or receiving? both are important but I find I am hard to shop for. I really don't need anything 
  18. Favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night for religious, Happy Holidays-Wonderful Christmas Time and Christmas Songs as my other favorites
  19. Candy canes – yay or nay? Yay! love them
  20. Favorite Christmas movie? It's a Wonderful Life-I cry everytime! 
  21. What do you leave for Santa? cookies, milk and carrots for Rudolph! 
  22. Do you have a Christmas morning tradition? wake up, take a pic on the stairs and open presents! then make breakfast and play with our toys
  23. Shop online or at the mall? I am turning into an online shopper. Too many people at the mall! 
  24. Christmas letter or card? Card! However next year I want to write a letter as well! 


What are some of your favorite things about the Holiday?

Beautiful tree and family pic! Wow Nov 1st is way early. I always like to put it up after Thanksgiving. Glad you had a wonderful Christmas!

What a fun list! My husband loves eggnog, but it just seems so gross to me (although I admit I've never tried it!). Thanks for sharing!

This survey is super cute, you get a snap shot of your holiday traditions. I never knew santa didn't wrap presents at everyone's house, that one is new to me! I love the idea of a Tinkerbell;; to top the tree, my two year old would love that!

It had to go up even earlier this year with my travel, race and school schedule! Merry Christmas!

I honestly think it came about because when I was younger I was way too rational for my own good and I told my mom that there was no way Santa could dig through a bag and read the names on the presents so they had to be unwrapped while he checked his list and it stuck! And also we picked out wrapping paper every year so we knew exactly what presents were from our parents

I always tell people get me a gift certificate somewhere or a experience. Anything I think I need (like my random grapefruit spoons!) I let my grandparents know so they know what to. Get

I don't like real eggnog haha just eggnog lattes and eggnog related alcoholic drinks. I was surprised I liked the eggnog latte at Starbucks as much as I did
