Egg Nog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate with a shot of Peppermint schnapps. YUM!
Do you hang mistletoe? Once.
When do you put up your decorations? This year I put them up at 3am the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Favorite holiday memory as a child: Hanging out with my clan in the family room while we watched movies, played games, and ate.
When did you learn the truth about Santa? Second grade thanks to my friend Julie. When my mom confirmed the truth later that night, I was SO surprised (in a bad way).
Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? My brothers and I used to when we were kids. The box always contained pajamas and funny socks.
How do you decorate your Christmas tree? I collect ornaments from every place my husband and I visit. So our tree is full of unique and personal souvenirs.
Snow. Love it or dread it? Love it from Thanksgiving through the New Year. After that, I only want to see it on the ski slopes.
Can you ice skate? Yes! And I’m a really fast on rollerblades too. Zoom zoom.
Do you remember your favorite gift? Wow. There have been lots. Some include: a necklace from my husband, skis, and many presents from Aunt Ellen (the BEST gift-giver ever).
What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? I genuinely believe that Jesus is God’s son, that he was sent to forgive us, and that he is the way to truth and light.
What’s your favorite holiday dessert? Christmas cookies.
What’s your favorite holiday tradition? Celebrating the Advent the four Sundays before Christmas by lighting the candles and reading a devotional.
What tops your tree? A star. But I’d consider an angel.
Which do you prefer giving or receiving? I find shopping for others hard, but on Christmas morning I enjoy giving just as much as receiving.
What’s your favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night.
Candy canes – yum or yuck? Yum for one lick. Then yuck. But I do think they’re pretty.
I’m tagging Darlene (who has a BEAUTIFUL blog), Brooke (my web gal), and The Blossom Risk (who has a new blog).

Fun meme! I might borrow that one for a post!
What on earth were you doing up at 3 am putting up Christmas stuff??? Mine are only half done - I just can't seem to get motivated to get it done yet. It still doesn't quite feel like Christmas yet to me.

Ooh, I'm on it! Fun, fun!

Collecting ornaments from everywhere you visit - what a great idea! I'm going to adopt that. I never know what to get for souveniers (or how to spell souveniers, for that matter...)

I love "O Holy Night." Never fails to give me the chills.
Also, my mom actually told me there was no Santa on St. Nick's day when I was in second grade. Mostly because I was getting too greedy and asking for everything and we didn't have much money that year. I was so sad!!!
