Maureen tagged me and boy am I glad cuz I didn’t really know what to talk about…and now I have a topic! Woohoo!

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Um. The only thing good about egg nog is the bourbon and that goes just as nicely in my Cocoa, tyvm.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa has no time to waste on wrapping. He spits in the face of wrapping!

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I used to be a white light kinda girl. Then I decidedmy language was colorful, so my Christmas lights should be, too. Viva la Colour!

4. Do you hang mistletoe? Nah. I have a hard enough time keeping Fishdog away from me now. He don’t need no stinkin’ misletoe.

5. When do you put your decorations up? Whenever the weather is nice. Shoulda done it this past weekend, but we shoulda done lots o’ stuff this past weekend. Probably will happen this coming weekend.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Is it food? Then I pretty much like it.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: Hmmm. I dunno. I can tell you it wasn’t the year I opened the gift that I just KNEW would be my Mr. Microphone (the only damn thing I wanted that year) and it turned out to be a pair of quilted houseshoes. I. Was. Devestated. (I suppose if that’s my worst Christmas memory ever, then I’ve led a pretty sweet life, huh?)

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? Oh. My. God. Can I just tell you how upset I was when I found out? I was in 5th grade. (Yes, 5th grade) and I found my letter to Santa with items crossed out and prices next them in my mom’s handwriting. I did the whole drama queen thing and grabbed the letter and huffed outside. I angrily showed Mom the evidence and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell Michael.” (my younger brother) Mom said, “Oh honey, he’s known for two years.”

Sigh. How sad is that?

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No. It’s Christmas Eve. Not Christmas. Do you open one birthday gift on your Birthday Eve?

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? I’m with Maureen on this one. Not sure I understand the question…but Drunk is a good answer. I’ll go with that.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Love it but we never see it. This is Mississippi, you know. When we do see it, it’s gone in two days. Now, I like it that way…I’d hate to live where snow was on the ground for months at a time. That means it’s cold for months at a time. I don’t dig cold.

12. Can you ice skate? Yes. Actually, I took ice skating as a Physical Ed credit in college. I had great legs that year. Oh, and a fantastic ass. Hmmm. Maybe I should take up ice skating again…

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? It was the year Santa my parents got me the most awesome stereo ever. It was from Montgomery Wards (LOL!) and it was one of those tower stereos with big speakers and a dual cassette player as well as the turntable and radio. Who else misses the 80s? C’mon. Don’t be ashamed. You know you miss the 80s.

14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Friends, family, and food. Not in any particular order.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Um, is it dessert? Then it’s my favorite. The one thing I don’t like…DAVINITY. Gak!

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? I dunno. We’re still working on our traditions, I think.

17. What tops your tree? I can’t remember. It changed last year.

18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? I love to give gifts. I love knowing I did just the right gift for everyone. But who am I kidding, I love getting them too.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Bob and Doug McKenzie’s 12 Days of Christmas.

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? YUM!

So, I tag Kate, Feist, Louisa, and Pam Trader!
