Egg nog or hot chocolate?  Hot chocolate for sure :)

Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Now Santa wraps the presents but when the kids were young they were just under the tree Christmas morning


Colored or White lights? I usually use white but I really like colored ones too

Do you hang mistletoe? No not normally but if I had some I would probably hang it somewhere


When do you put up your decorations? Usually a week after Thanksgiving I am running a little behind this year still working on the outside decor

What is your favorite holiday dish? um this is hard because everything is so so good I love any kind of dip


Do you remember your favorite gift? probably my laptop because I use it everyday and love it thanks Johnny

What is your favorite holiday tradition? we always get new pj's on Christmas and Johnny cooks a huge breakfast for everyone


Whats on top of your tree? a big bow I wish I could find some else but it will do

Which do you prefer giving or receiving? I am not going to lie of course I love receiving gifts but giving it the best!

Candy canes yum or yuck? yum

Favorite Christmas movie? Elf, Charlie Brown Christmas and The Polar Express

Favorite Christmas song? Walking in a Winter Wonderland and Do you hear what I hear
