(Lifted from Playa Minded who lifted it from someone else. Which I guess is what makes it a meme. Now you answer the questions on your blog.)
Eggnog or hot chocolate?
Hot cocoa, please. A little peppermint Schnapps wouldn’t hurt.
Does Santa wrap the presents or leave them open under the tree?
Unwrapped in the stocking, I guess. This is the first year Santa is coming to our house.
Colored lights on a tree or white?
White.
Do you hang mistletoe?
I meant to. Lack of mistletoe doesn’t stop me from kissing everyone whenever I can.
When do you put your decorations up?
We don’t have a lot of decorations, but the tree and the Advent calendar go up after Thanksgiving.
What is your favorite holiday dish?
Swedish pancakes.
Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
Absolutely. It has to be from out of town, though.
How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
H puts up the lights and then we both hang ornaments while listening to holiday music on Pandora. Anders then moves ornaments around throughout the month and I found Finn with a colored ball in each hand the day the tree went up.
Snow: love it or hate it?
Duh, love it.
Can you ice skate?
Can and do, but not in the last couple years. Looking forward to getting out on the lagoon with Anders next year.
What is your favorite holiday dessert?
Ginger cookies.
What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Playing in the snow, listening to the Polar Express at the Murray, Swedish pancakes for breakfast Christmas morning, reading books from the Christmas crate.
Candy canes: yum or yuck?
They are ok. Best used to stir hot cocoa.
Favorite Christmas show?
Watching the boys dance around the tree and frolic in the snow.
What a great idea to use Pandora for Christmas tunes – I’ll do this next year.
