20 Questions about the Holidays!

1. Eggnog or hot chocolate? Eggnog YUCK…  I love hot chocolate!! I love cold winter nights where

you can bundle up in blankets and watch movies on the couch with a nice cup of hot chocolate. 

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? When I was growing up Santa would wrap EVERYTHING!! My parents made their own tradition of having us open all of our presents up Christmas Eve night because we would always go see family Christmas morning and we would never be able to play with our toys. Nathan and I will most likely end up doing the same tradition with our little girl.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No, but it would be really cute hanging in a door way! 

5. When do you decorate for Christmas? When I was younger, my mom would always decorate for Christmas the saturday after Thanksgiving. This year was the first year I was able to spend Thanksgiving with Nathan but we were in the process of moving so we didn't have a chance to decorate. We are actually getting a tree tonight, so hopefully by next weekend the house will be all decorated.
