Christmas Survey about the one and only Paige

Your Name: Paige
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate ? Hot Chocolate with marshmellows
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa doesn't have wrapping paper. His presents are too big. But if he does have wrapping paper it is brown like paper bag paper.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I love white lights. However a few people can pull of the mix of colored lights and make it look good.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? YES, from my dog's reindeer antler.
5. When do you put your decorations up? Always after Thanksgiving. I mean do you not understand that it is still pretty fall and pumpkins and leaves are the theme until the harvest. After Thanksgiving, the evergreens and red & greens start to appear.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Oh my goodness, so many to choose from. I will go with my husbands least favorite and my top favorite...stuffing!
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: Ok great story...got a minute? It is Christmas morning and us kids (Rance, me and Crystal) and Mom & Dad are opening gifts. My folks give us cash sometimes b/c we would go shopping the day after Christmas in Spfld (big trip back in the day). I put all my cash in a little box on a table beside where I was opening presents. It came time to clean up and throw away all the wrapping paper and take all your goodies to your room. I was going through my stuff about an hour after clean up time and I couldn't find my little box of cash. AHH I freaked. And so did my Parents. Boy were they steaming. Well lucky for us Dad had already taken the trash to the big dumpster at my Mom's Business. So guess were Mom and I headed? Yeap! I crawled in the dumpster and started ripping open trashbags, looking for a small little box. The bumpster luckily dosen't smell it just has broken glass and paint all over it. And guess what, I didn't find the box of money. I was bawling my eyes out. We went back home and I looked through the trash can in the kitchen and I found that stupid little box of cash. Yeap I found it! By this time I felt like a total loser. Needless to say, I have learned my lesson and it is the laugh every Christmas, when cash is given.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I don't remember, however I didn't want my parents to know that I knew, just in case Santa would "stop" coming.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? We have Christmas every Christmas Eve with Grandma Mac. So yes we open presents.
10. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Love it!!!
11. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? CHOCOLATE PIE, anything pumpkin
12. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Exchanging gifts. all the smiles and laughs.
13. What tops your tree? I have an angel with a harp on my little 3' tree.
14. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving? Giving is a blast. Opening gifts is fun too.
15. Favorite Christmas memory as an adult? The first Christmas Married to Todd. Just the joy of us two opening gifts by ourselves. He bought me a pair of mudd black shoes and some black socks and I still wear them today (4 years later). I'm sure he bought me something else. But who can remember every gift.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love surveys, as long as I don't have to repost it in the next 10 minutes or I will have bad luck for the next 7 years or something like that. You are so fun to be around during Christmas (ok fine, you are fun to be around all the time), but the joy and excitement you have decorating and shopping is awesome and it gives me energy I would otherwise probably not have. Thanks for you inspiration. LAFY
