Christmas for me is...

There are all these "tags" going around, I'll get to them all someday. So here is my tag for Getting to know you "Christmas Edition". Enjoy!
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? I think I've only had Egg Nog once, and never again! I'm totally a hot chocolate chica!
2. Does Santa wrap the presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa wrapped them until I was like 6, then he just left them under the tree.
3. Red or white lights? White
4. Do you hang mistletoe? No, but I should, it truly is a cute plant.
5. When do you put your decorations up? I start the week of Thanksgiving and do a little here and there all week.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Mmm! Every Christmas Eve, my grandparents come over and my dad makes pineapple ham...So yummy!
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? When we were little, we all used to sleep in the same room. One year my little brother, Tyson, and sister Mackenzie, sleep in Tyson's room, while my other sister, Tiffany, slept in Mackenzie's room down the hall, (I don't know why tiff wasn't with us, I think she was sick). So Tyson, Mackenzie and I got up early to see the presents before my parents said we could. As to not leave tiff out, Mackenzie ran to get Tiffany, who just happened to sleep with the door shut. But Mackenzie, thinking the door would be open, because that's how she sleeps, ran right into the door. All we hear is a hard thud and then Mackenzie screaming "oweey". Tyson and I started laughing and after that, we were all up.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I think I was 8 or 9.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? We used to open a gift from our grandparents because they were with us on Christmas Eve, but now we really don't.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? We have white lights, white ribbon, a red and silver "glisten" sign, along with red, silver, green and clue ornaments and little tin signs that say "believe"
11. Snow: Love it or hate it? Seriously, I LOVE it! And what is up with Perry getting like 3 inches, while Brigham gets nothing!
12. Can you ice skate?Yes, I can skate, I can even go backwards.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? My favorite gift...it would probably be the year I got a CD player and the Celine Dion CD, it's still one of my favorites.
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Spending time with family and friends that you don't get to see all the time.
15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? Well, I do know I hate divinity. Holy Sugar! I think I would say I LOVE wassail! If I could I'd always have a crockpot with it ready and waiting. I really love homemade carmels.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? I really love what we do on Christmas Eve, we get together, have a nice meal, usually watch a good Christmas movie, and then read the Christmas story and get ready for Santa to come!
17. What is on top of your tree? A white glitter star.
18. Which do you like best giving or receiving?I love to GIVE! I seriously just think of all the things I can get other people, I wish I had enough money to give it all!
19. Christmas Song? O Holy Night by Celine Dion, and Deck the Halls by Shedaisy.
20. Do you like candy canes? Yes! I LOVE Candy Cane shakes from the Yogurt Factory! Mmm!
I tag: Amiee, Jalene, Candice, and Jenny.
