Winter/Christmas
1) In this cold weather do you prefer hot chocolate or apple cider? Perhaps a nice hot toddy?
2) Which do you like best, turkey, tofu or ham? Any good recipes? I'll go with the spiral ham
3) Do you get a fake or real Christmas tree? Why do you have the one you use? Convenience? Tradition? I don't put up a tree because the pups would destroy it. Back when I did buy a tree, it was real.
4) Do you put decorations on the outside of your house? Fess up!! Do you go all-out, are you a minimalist, or are you Scrooge? Is not having any decorations considered Scrooge? Like I was saying with the tree, the pups get into everything.
5) Do you go outside for snowball fights or sledding? I have but not in a long time. I used to love when it snowed growing up because for some reason, it brought out all the kids in the neighborhood. Lots of snowball fights and sledding and snowmen.
6) Do you enjoy going downtown for shopping? They've been trying to revitialize our downtown for years. With the malls, there aren't all that many shops downtown so I hardly go.
7) What is your favorite Christmas song? Winter Wonderland
8) What is your least favorite Christmas song? The chipmonks.
9) How do you feel about Christmas movies? Do you have a favorite? I like the original Miracle on 34th Street, which was playing over and over on AMC this week. I also like the Christmas Story. I watch as much of the marathon as I can. My personal favorite has always been The Bells of St. Mary.
10) When is it too early to start listening to Christmas music? Before Thanksgiving
11) Do you open the things in the stockings before or after presents? Haven't opened stockings in years but I believe it was before.
12) Carolers, do you or do you not watch and listen to them? I've never had any come to the house.
13) Do you or have you ever gone caroling? Did people listen to and watch you? No, I've never gone. I recall the nuns used to organize a caroling every year but walking around in the freezing cold and singing in front of strangers' houses wasn't my idea of a good time.
14) On Christmas day, do you go to someone else's house or they come to you? We all go to my sister's on Christmas Eve and then to my brother's house on Christmas Day.
15) Do you read the Christmas Story? Our newspaper publishs the biblical story every year on Christmas Eve so yes, I do read it.
16) What do you do after presents and dinner? chit chat, play with the kids and their new toys
17) What is your favorite holiday smell? whatever's in the oven
18) Which would you rather do – ice skate or walk around the mall? I haven't ice skated in years so I'll take the walk around the mall.
19) Do you open a present or presents on Christmas Eve, or wait until Christmas day? Christmas Eve
20) Tell us about your favorite Christmas memory. I always liked going to Midnight Mass.
21) If you don’t celebrate Christmas, do you celebrate anything around this time of year? No, Christmas is it.
22) What is your favorite part about winter? snow
23) What is your least favorite part about winter – other than the snow and the cold, if that’s what you have in your neck of the woods? The shorter days and the bare trees.
24) Tell us the truth, have you ever been kissed under mistletoe? I'll have to go with a yes.
