I came across a new blog today called A Call to Adventure. There was a holiday survey so I thought it would be a fun diversion from the serious posts so here it goes -
1. Egg nog - yum or yuck? Yuck
2. Stay up until midnight on New Years? Yes
3. Prefer white or colored lights? Colored
4. Favorite holiday song? Hmmm...that's a hard one. O Come All Ye Faithful and Carol of the Bells.
5. What is your tackiest holiday decoration? Some cheap ceramic things I bought at a 99 cent store when I was a kid. They remind me of all the great Christmas' we had at home when I was growing up.
6. Do your kids have too much and you wonder just WHY you are getting more?? lol Unfortunately, yes. Especially stuffed animals. I love them as a kid and can't resist getting Bella another one when she looks at me with those pleading big, brown eyes!
7. If you celebrate Christmas, when does your tree go up and come down? Up -This year it came up early - the second Sunday of Advent. It's our first "real" tree! Down - After the Epiphany.
8. Christmas again - open presents on Christmas eve, morning, or other? We open gifts with Brian's family on Christmas Eve at their place. Christmas morn we celebrate just the three of us here (keeping the focus on Jesus b-day and our gifts to Him) but we open our gifts to each other at my parent's house on Epiphany.
9. Favorite holiday tradition? We just started a new one this year - attending the parish Las Posadas (it was so beautiful!) At home it would have to be (for Advent) singing carols and decorating the house with a blazing fire and hot chocolate. (And don't laugh - I love sending out our Christmas cards!) For Christmas day it would be the Jesus birthday party.
10. What do YOU want for Christmas? That's easy, the same thing we've been praying for - A BABY!
Thanks for the fun survery, Zellie!
