I am going on vacation for a little while. When I get back I will have bunches of pics & stories hopefully. See you all in the New Year!

Merry Christmas everyone! Just a little meme I found on some other blogs that I thought might be fun for Christmas day… Hope everyone is having a good holiday:)

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
I love egg nog, but I think hot chocolate is probably my fav. Right now I am obsessed with Starbucks Peppermint Hot Chocolate!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
Santa doesn’t visit for Christmas, but we do wrap our presents from each other.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
White lights definitely (with colored beads and lots of pretty ornaments).

4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Nope

5. When do you put your decorations up?
Hmm, this year we didn’t put any up. It really depends… last year we put them up sometime after thanksgiving.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
My mother-in-laws homemade bread rolls or my mom’s stuffed portabella mushrooms.

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child.
Going out on a horse drawn wagon ride in the snow to get a Christmas tree.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I think I always knew. My parents always wanted the credit for buying the presents maybe;)

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
All of them actually! (There is no way I could wait until Christmas day!)

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
Lights, strings of beads, ornaments, and a star on top.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Love it when we are visiting our parents, dread it when it actually snows where we live.

12. Can you ice skate?
Yes I can.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
Umm, I really hate to pick a favorite gift since every gift is appreciated.

14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Hanging out with family.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Oh that is a tough one! Apple pie, the trifle my sis-in-law made this year, anything sugary…. :)

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Opening Christmas presents late on Christmas Eve.

17. What tops your tree?
A star.

18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving?
Do I really have to answer this one?:) Giving of course:)

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
If I have to pick one, “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch” sung by Sixpence None the Richer.

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
If it is peppermint flavored, yum!

Today I….

• Bought a pair of shoes
• Got a haircut (just a trim, it isn’t like I could really get it cut any shorter)
• Tried to buy a purse, but didn’t find any I liked
• Started sewing a purse
• Stopped sewing a purse when I realized I didn’t like how it was turning out
• Thought about all the other stuff I should have been doing instead of sewing

Yesterday I…

• Cuddled with the cats (Yeah that is pretty much all I did yesterday, since Pounce decided he felt like it should be a day of cuddling. Apparently he reverted back to kittenhood when he would not let me even sit at the computer and read blogs or anything. So I cuddled him and Axel and just relaxed:)

Merry Christmas a little early everyone!
