Christmas Survey

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? BOTH ARE DELICIOUS SO IT'S TOUGH TO PICK. I DRINK A LOT MORE HOT CHOCOLATE SO I GUESS I BETTER GO WITH THAT.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them udNer the tree? SANTA IS A PRETTY VERSITILE GUY SO HE'LL WRAP SOME PRESENTS AND THEN OTHERS HE'LL LEAVE OUT IN THE OPEN.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I THINK THE WHITE LIGHTS ARE A LOT MORE COMFORTING... AND THE COLORED LIGHTS ARE MORE FUN. I PREFER THE WHITE ONES.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? NO... NO I DO NOT.
5. When do you put your decorations up? ANY TIME AFTER THANKSGIVING IS ACCEPTABLE. I'M BIG ON WAITING FOR ONE HOLIDAY TO BE OVER BEFORE STARTING ANOTHER ONE. ALYSSA DOES A GOOD JOB AT DECORATING THE HOUSE AND I HELP WITH THE TREE.
6. Your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? WELL DESSERT IS WHAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE ALL ABOUT SO THIS QUESTION BUGS ME. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY I LIKE PIE!! OH WAIT... NO DESSERTS! THAT'S DUMB. WELL... I'LL HAVE TO GO WITH.... PIE!
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES ABOUT CHRISTMAS WHEN I WAS A KID. I REMEMBER ONE CHRISTMAS WHEN RYAN CONVENIENTLY LEFT THE ROOM EARLY AND THEN I COULD HEAR HIM AND MY DAD DRAGGING SOMETHING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW. AND THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS A BIG PING PONG TABLE FROM SANTA. RYAN ALWAYS GOT TO HELP WITH THINGS LIKE THAT. I USED TO LOVE GETTING EVERYBODY THE BEST PRESENT I COULD THINK OF, AND I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM OPEN IT. LESLEE (MY SISTER) TYPICALLY GOT A MAKE-UP KIT OF SOME KIND FROM ME. I'M SURE SHE GOT TIRED OF THOSE BUT SHE JUST REALLY LIKED MAKE-UP. AT LEAST I THOUGHT SO.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? IN 5TH GRADE THEY HAD A SURVEY IN CLASS TO SEE WHO BELIEVED IN SANTA AND 95% OF THE KIDS SAID THEY DIDN'T. THE TEACHER ALSO DIDN'T BELIEVE SO I FELT PRETTY GAY THAT IT TOOK ME THAT LONG TO FIGURE IT OUT.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? ALYSSA AND I ARE BUSY VISITING OUR FAMILIES ON CHRISTMAS SO WE'VE OPENED PRESENTS FROM EACH OTHER ON CHRISTMAS EVE. WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT UNTIL WE HAVE KIDS OF OUR OWN I THINK.
10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him? I GUESS I RIPPED SANTA OFF BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER LEAVING HIM ANYTHING. OH WELL!
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? I LOVE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT CHRISTMAS WITHOUT SNOW. THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN SNOW ON CHRISTMAS EVE OR CHRISTMAS DAY. IT ALSO MAKES THE MOUNTAINS AND EVERYTHING ELSE REALLY PRETTY. I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN IT'S A FROZEN PILE OF DIRT SNOW THAT TAKES 3 MONTHS TO MELT. FRESH SNOW IS WHERE IT'S AT.
12. Can you ice skate? I CAN GET BY. I'M NOT THE GREATEST ICE SKATER, BUT I CAN GET AROUND WITHOUT FALLING.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? MY WEIGHT SET WAS REALLY AWESOME, AND MY SKIIS WERE COOL TOO. I REMEMBER GETTING A JOHN STOCKTON PLAQUE FROM CASANDRA. I STILL HAVE THAT.
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? I TRY TO JUST RELAX AND ENJOY THE TIME WITH FAMILY. A LOT OF PEOPLE STRESS OUT AND DON'T EJOY IT AS MUCH AS THEY COULD. I JUST LIKE TO ROLL ALONG AND TRY TO BE HAPPY.
(I lost #15)
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? THE TRIP AFTER CHRISTMAS IS THE BEST! WE GET TO TRY OUT ALL OUR NEW GAMES AND SPEND TIME WITH THE FAMILY. YOU CAN DO... OR NOT DO WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. IT'S PROBABLY MY FAVORITE FEW DAYS OF THE YEAR.
17. What tops your tree? THE TOP OF THE TREE TOPS OUR TREE. I DON'T THINK A TOPPER IS NECESSARY. I THINK A LOT OF TOPPERS ARE THE UGLIEST PART OF THE ENTIRE TREE. SOME ARE NICE I GUESS.
18. Which do you prefer? Giving or Receiving? GIVING IS BETTER... BUT IT'S NOT AS FUN AS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I USED TO SAVE UP AND GET PEOPLE A PRETTY NICE GIFT, AND NOW WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THAT FOR EVERYBODY. SO IT'S NOT QUITE AS EXCITING BUT STILL FUN. I DON'T MIND RECEIVING GIFTS EITHER THOUGH.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Carol? I DON'T LIKE CHRISTMAS CAROLS OR CHRISTMAS MUSIC RIGHT NOW. JUST COME SIT AT AMERICA FIRST FOR A FEW HOURS AND YOU'LL FEEL THE SAME WAY. THERE'S NOT ENOUGH VARIETY WHEN IT COMES TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC. IF I HAD TO PICK I'D SAY... CARTMAN SINGING "OH HOLY NIGHT."
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? CANDY CANES ARE PRETTY GOOD. I ALWAYS SUCK ON THEM UNTIL I HAVE A SHARP END. NOT SURE WHY BUT THAT'S JUST HOW I EAT THEM.
21. favorite christmas movie? IT'S HANDS DOWN CHRISTMAS VACATION. THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!
22. How many plates of goodies have you given out this year? ZERO!
23. Christmas Ham or Turkey? I WILL TAKE A SPIRAL HONEY HAM. HAM HAS GOT TO BE COOKED RIGHT FOR IT TO TASTE GOOD THOUGH. I DON'T LIKE RUBBER HAM THAT FLOPS AROUND ON MY PLATE. IT'S GOT TO BE COOKED ALL THE WAY OR I DON'T WANT IT.
24. Favorite holiday dessert? PIE!
25. When do you take down Christmas decorations? RIGHT AFTER THE NEW YEAR. I DON'T LIKE THAT STUFF BEING UP ANY LONGER. LUCKY FOR ME ALYSSA IS THE SAME WAY SO THERE'S NOT PROBLEMS THERE.
