I love it when the Blended Blog posts a questionnaire!

Here’s a fun one about Holiday Favorites:

1. Real or Fake Tree?

Fake. Fake. Fake.

I have three of them!

No pics yet… the Christmas décor doesn’t come out until AFTER Amanda’s birthday (December 9th).

2. Favorite Christmas Cookie?

I LOVE these!These are officially on my Christmas Wish List!

3. Home on Christmas Morning or Travel?

NEVER have I had to travel to be with family at Christmas. My kids come to my house early on Christmas morning. After we exchange gifts at my house, we all walk next door to my Mama’s house. We will meet there with my sister and her family.  Most of the time my Grandpa will join us.  I am very blessed.

4. Clear or Colored Lights?

BOTH! With 3 trees, I can enjoy the white lights on 2 of my trees, and colored lights on the other.

5. Send Christmas Cards?

Sometimes… if I remember.

6. Favorite Christmas Present Received?

Every gift I receive is appreciated and enjoyed.

However there is one that comes to mind more quickly than any other…

Elvis.

You can barely see him hiding in the Christmas tree (yes, my tree is purple).

He was introduced in this post.

7. Favorite Christmas Present Given?

Along with Elvis, Aymie was introduced in this post.

It was a pleasure to hand the little fur-ball over to Stephanie on Christmas morning. 

There is nothing better than getting a little black kitten for Christmas!

8. Stockings or No Stockings?

YES STOCKINGS! Got to have the stockings!

9. Christmas PJ’s?

Nope.

Did it once, looked like an idiot in my pink reindeer onesie.

Then a picture appeared on FACEBOOK!

10. Favorite Christmas Carol?

11. Favorite Holiday Tradition?

There are two.

One is an old tradition; one is a new tradition.

It is tradition to meet with my family at Mama’s house for breakfast (English muffins with sausage and Velveeta) and gift exchange on Christmas morning.

LB and I have made a new tradition of seeing the Alhambra Christmas show every year. We have seen White Christmas, A Christmas Story, and the fabulous story of Scrooge… A Christmas Carol… multiple times.

12. Early Shopper or Last Minute?

Both. I started on Black Friday and will likely still be shopping for something on Christmas Eve.

13. Favorite Christmas Movie or Show?

It’s A Wonderful Life

My Daddy introduced me to this movie years ago.  I absolutely LOVE it!

14. Favorite Holiday Beverage?

All of them!

Here is a good Egg Nog recipe.

15. Cookies and Milk for Santa?

Of course!

A well fed Santa, is a happy Santa!
