Christmas Survey

Emily posted a Christmas survey on her blog - which originally Brenda posted on her blog with a challenge to other bloggers to copy and paste the questions and answer them. So, here are my responses...

Favorite Christmas movie (cartoon or children's)? How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Favorite Christmas movie? A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacay

When do you usually start Christmas shopping? Whenever I see something on sale that would make a great gift for someone throughout the year, but usually the week or two before Christmas

Favorite Christmas present? A dollhouse when I was about 8

Real or artificial tree? both - we did real the first year in our house, but then bought a artificial pre-lit tree a few years back (for $36 in an after-Christmas sale) and it is awesome! (I tend to get allergic reactions to real trees)

Colored or white lights? definitely WHITE

Favorite Christmas memories? My brothers and I all sleeping in my bedroom on Christmas Eve night and then waking eachother up to run downstairs and see what Santa brought - always in red/green/white paper (I was red, Nathan green, Travis White). Also, making Chex mix, relaxing at home and playing with Christmas gifts, going bowling, etc

Favorite Christmas song? I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas (no not really), Silent Night, Its Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas, Joy to the World - I kinda like them all!

Do you like eggnog? its ok - a few sips of it anyway, drinking a whole glass might be overwhelming

Peppermint canes or fruity ones? Peppermint
