Christmas MeMe!!

Yeah, so it's been quite a while since I have last blogged and I have had it in my mind to do one but just haven't taken the time to do it. So, my lovely mother-in-law has tagged me and has given me some motivation to finally make the time and effort to answer these fun Christmas questions. So ENJOY!! 

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate!

HOT CHOCOLATE by far!!!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?

They are definitely wrapped AND under the tree.

White! Daniel likes colored so we made a deal that we would switch between the two every other year.

4. Do you hang mistletoe?

No, we don't need it!!

5. When do you put up decorations?

Growing up my family put up decorations right after Thanksgiving. This year Daniel and I put the tree and stockings up the first snow which was Nov. 9. It was SOOO fun!

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?

I put the lights on and Daniel and I both put each of our Christmas ornaments on while listening to Christmas music. It's so special this year being Daniel and my first Christmas as a married couple.

11. Snow! love it or dread it?

I would say I like it. Growing up I loved playing in it and making snowmen and all of that fun. I still like watching it come down and I especially love having a white Christmas. But once Spring gets closer I am ready for the snow to be done.

12. Can you ice skate?

Yes, I can and I love to. But I will say when Daniel and I were dating we went ice skating and I definitely fell straight on my face. We started to laugh so hard!! But I am thankful I didn't get hurt! That ice was pretty hard.

No, nothing really comes to mind.

Actually I attended one this year with my work. We had a great time!! We had dinner at a local restaurant and hung out and talked for hours.

24. Do you own a Santa hat?

I used to but I don't have one anymore.

25. Who do you normally spend Christmas with?

Before I was married I would spend Christmas day with my immediate family and then go to my grandparents house in the afternoon to spend it with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. Then we would travel to Ohio the following weekend to spend it with my mom's side of the family. This year being married, we will probably be spending Christmas just us two and then fly home the next weekend to visit our family!!
