He's Mr. Heat Miser...he's Mr. Sun

Happy Holidays to you all!

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? We use bags and tissue paper.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? white or both? I like both, but not at the same time – you must pick a theme. No blue lights please.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No, why bother.

5. When do you put your decorations up? Sometimes right after Thanksgiving, but not this year. Beckham would destroy them all.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish ? Cannoli – my mom used to make it. I can make it but only with her help. I’ve tried on my own…doesn’t turn out.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: getting my roller skates

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I figured it out on my own. Mom thought my brother spilled the beans.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Nope, we aren’t allowed to – except for the family DVD that we then watch that night. But these days as no one lives close, I open my prezzies whenever I want to. Wheee!!!!!

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? I have a little fake tree from Target that already has lights on it. I then just put on my favorite ornaments and try not to overload it so that it will actually stay upright. But with the addition of the new cat – not even going to bother this year.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Like it – but only when I don’t have to shovel it or drive in it.

12. Can you ice skate? Yup, own my own skates too.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Trip home for the holidays when I lived in Japan …

14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Spending time with family and friends.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? No one makes it anymore since my Great Grandmother passed away…she made this amazing bundt cake that she called a “Sock-it-to-me” cake. All swirly and drizzled with icing…

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Watching movies with the family.

18. Which do you prefer -- Giving or receiving. I like both.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? I like the Jewel Christmas Album...no favorite song.

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum ? Yuck, I don’t like anything mint. I used to like the little ones b/c you could shove the whole thing in your mouth…the bigger ones end up sharpened like a weapon.

My favorite Christmas movie is the one with Mr. Heat Miser and Mr. Snow Miser - Mrs. Claus has to save the day by going to see Mother Nature (their mother).
