Welcome to the 2nd Edition of Getting To Know Your Family and Friends, Christmas Style. You know the drill. Get crack-a-lackin'!




1. Do you put up outdoor Christmas decorations?
We always have but this year we had to crack down on the electric bill, times are tough, so we just decorated inside the gingerbread house this year.
2. Do you have a favorite Christmas cookie?
I don't think there is a cookie I could dislike. I am a cookie addict!
3. What is the best gift you ever gave someone?
A collage of pictures of this very special person for his family to have forever.
4. Do you like fruitcake?
Let's just say if all cookies tasted like fruitcake then I'd be 20 pounds lighter. I no like.
5. What is your least favorite Christmas song?
"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". I know it is the most wonderful time of the year and that is a classic, I just am not really feeling that guys voice & it's played way too much!
6. Do you go to church on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day?
I use to when I was little girl but now we stay cozy in our house and say our prayers from here.
7. Do you hang Christmas stockings? Where?
All over my chaotic little house! No fire place or mantel going on over here but they looks cute & colorful & Santa packs them up on Christmas Eve with lots of cool treats for the kids.
8. Do you truly believe "it's the most wonderful time of the year"?
Yes I do.
9. Have you ever worn a Santa hat?
I don't have one but the kids rock them and they look so cute & right in the Christmas spirit. I call them Santa's little helper's.
10. Are you more like Scrooge or Father Christmas?
Mama Christmas who likes rockin around the Christmas tree & bakin lots of cookies and then testing way too many to make sure they taste up to my sharing them with other's standards.
11. Do you hang mistletoe?
nope.
12. Does Santa wrap presents or just place them under your tree? Mrs. Claus does all the wrapping and this year she is thinking about setting some up right out of the boxes ( cause that putting stuff together on xmas morning can get a little frustrating with all those tie things, whose job is it to tie up the toys anyways?, those ties plain out suck!)SO some wrapped, some will be already to play with!
13. Can you ice skate?
I use to when I was a little girl but my feet always caved inward. I am sure now I would look like a total cutes on those blades. I haven't attempted it in many years. But I love rollerskating. Just thought I'd share that with you all.
14. Do you love snow?
Not too much. When I was little yes I loved it, no school days, hot chocolate after playing outside. Now I guess I am trying to love again through watching my kids enjoy it. But scary ice and being housebound when we get big storms...oh I just no like!
15. Which do you prefer-- giving or recieving?
I love giving!
16. Candy Canes-- yuck or yum?
yummo to me!
17. The 3 best things about Christmas?
All the houses lit up, baking lots of cookies ( and then eating them & of course sharing them with loved ones ) & listening to Celine Dion's xmas album, it's my favorite to wrap gifts to.
18. What type of decoration should stop being made?
I think any decoration can really work if you put some thought and creativity into it, my little pet peeve is when I drive my a house and they have like 1 strand of blue lights on a bushes and like 2 strands of white lights coming down the porch stairs, like what is that? what's the point, don't even put up the lights if they gona look like a crap, ya know what i mean?
19. Do you listen to 24/7 holiday radio?
Oh yeah, WROR. I love listening to the kids call into Santa between 5-7. Jordan listens sometimes with me and it's always rockin in the kitchen while I am baking.
20. Rudolph or Frosty?
I like Rudolph, he is so cute and I'm a sucker for the underdog!
Go Rudolph Baby!
