Christmas meme thing
Under great pressure from The Waffling Anglican, I hereby fill this thing out.
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate. I prefer my eggs scrambled. Or at least not raw.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa's job
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Both on each, it's an art form.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No way. Too much potential for . . . problems.
5. When do you put your decorations up? As close to Christmas as humanly possible. We turned them on this year on Christmas Eve Eve.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Macaroni pie. Not the kind with brains in it.
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child: Eating macaroni pie.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? Third grade, fourth grade, something like that.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Opening gifts on Christmas eve? What is this heresy?
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? Put up a million old ornaments, then a bunch of new ones, then a thousand feet of cheap Christmas lights, then an angel on top.
11. Snow! Love it or dread it? Can't wait for the snow.
12. Can you ice skate? I can. In fact, I used to play ice hockey, until a career-ending run-in with a ninth grade girl.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Knuth.
14. What's the most important thing about the holidays for you? I go to church so many times I need to hit up an ATM.
15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? Those little honey covered balls.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Macaroni pie.
17. What tops your tree? An angel my mother made when she was in school, around the year 1327.
18. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? Giving, due to the enormous amount of crap in my room. Unless it's a good book.
19. What is your favorite Christmas song? Does Conditor Alme Siderum count, or is that an Advent song?
20. Candy canes: yuck or yum? Yum.
21. Favorite Christmas movie? The one with the Claymation. I forget what it's about.
22. What do you leave for Santa? Cookies and carrots. You know. For the reindeer.
