Naked Communist

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot chocolate with marshmallows. Eggnog is nasty. But truth be told, I'd prefer cider spiked with rum over both...

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? No tree to set them under. But they are wrapped.

3. Colored lights or white lights on tree/house? No lights. I'm Ebenezer Scrooge reincarnated. Bah Humbug!

4. Do you hang mistletoe? Nope...but I have kissed someone under misteltoe before.

5. When do you put your decorations up? No decorations. See question #3

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? stuffing. Ah, sweet stuffing.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Didn't celebrate X-Mas as a child (religious reasons). Possibly this is why I'm Ebenezer Scrooge reincarnated, lol.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I never believed in Santa.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No. I just don't do much for Christmas.

10. What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him? None. But if I was going to put some out I'd put out some nice Milanos. mmmmmmmmm milano

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? I hate snow. It's cold, it's wet, it gets in your shoes and down the back of your neck, I don't ski and haven't gone tubing since I was a kid. What's to like?

12. Can you ice skate? Yep, but not very well.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Didn't get anything as a child, but three Christmases ago my brother gave me a card with a big yellow smiley face with holly in its mouth. The inside said "Happy Holly-days". Cheesy, I know, but it was the last gift he ever gave me before he died. And it was totally his style. I'll keep it forever.

14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Giving the people I love something that tells them I love them back.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? I'm boring. I like pumpkin pie.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Helping my step-mom put up her christmas decorations. I miss doing that now that I've moved.

17. What tops your tree? No tree. See question #3 and #7

18. Which do you prefer Giving or Receiving? Giving. Definitely.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Carol? "Merry Christmas from the Family" by Robert Earl Keen. Not really a carol but it makes me laugh. ("...mom got drunk and dad got drunk at our Christmas paaaaaaarty...")

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? I really like peppermint, so I love candy canes - not the cinnamon or fruity ones tho.
