Merry Christmas Fun!

Hope everyone has an amazing Christmas full of fun, family, and lots of laughs! Do you have big plans for the holidays? We stay around here and celebrate with Adam’s family Christmas Eve and my mom & step-dad on Christmas day.  We went to Kentucky last weekend with my Dad & Step-mom to celebrate so Christmas has already begun for us!:) I thought it would be fun to do this fun Christmas survey I saw on Peanut Butter Fingers to kick off the holiday weekend. I’d love to hear some of your answers too! Pick your favorite question & answer in the comments. Merry Christmas!

25 Questions: Holiday Style

Eggnog or hot chocolate?
Hot chocolate! With marshmallows & no whipped cream!

Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
He does NOT wrap! Adam & I have an ongoing “discussion” about this.  I say Santa sets up the presents ready for you to play right away (yes that means assembled & batteries installed!) and Adam says Santa always wraps.  We each reference Christmas movies that prove both our points-haha!

Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Love colored lights! They are so fun.  White is pretty too, but my preference is colored

Do you hang mistletoe?
No, not really a fan.

When do you hang your decorations up?
Either the week of Thanksgiving or the first week of December.

What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
My mom’s Christmas pull apart bread! It’s like bread candy!

Once Christmas I remember seeing Santa’s soot footprint and hearing the reindeer & jingle bells on the roof! So magical!

I would love an I-Pad 2, but I’ll keep dreaming so I really want some Toms & a digital baking scale
