Christmas Survey

I've missed out on so much by not reading blogs lately! Here's a survey I found over at April's Mental Block -

1. Colored lights or white light? On the living room tree we have colored lights, but on my dining room tree it's only white ones. If we ever put lights up on the house it'll be multi-colored icicle lights. I love those.
2. Real tree or fake tree? Fake. I'm sure someone in the house would be allergic to a real one. Not to mention the fact that I hate to vacuum and I hear those needles eventually start falling off and nuh uh, I ain't doin' that.
3. What is your least favorite thing about the holidays? The rushing around and not getting to enjoy the small, quiet moments.
4. What is the one thing that you would like to see under the tree? Next year, my own personal tattoo artist. Heh, I can dream.
5. What is your favorite thing to do/build in the snow? Walk around and whine about how cold it is and ask repeatedly when we can go in.
6. What's your favorite holiday drink? Anything that makes the noise of the children go away.
7. What is your favorite holiday smell? Cookies baking
8. Who is your favorite reindeer? I didn't know we had to pick a favorite.
9. What is your Christmas Eve ritual? We go to Mom's on Christmas Eve.
10. Are you a Friday after Thanksgiving shopper? HELL NO
11. What is your favorite holiday food? BBQ'd meatballs. It's a holiday staple for us.
12. How did you find out that Santa wasn't real? Oh gosh, I was 11 or so, probably one of the last kids in my class. I was devastated. Devastated!
13. Who do you want to be under the mistletoe with? Rumor has it I've been heard saying I'd like to lick Keith Anderson...
14. Have you bought all your presents yet? Since I didn't see this until after Christmas...well, I durn sure hope so!
15. Do you spend Christmas with a lot of family? Yeah, for the most part.
16. Do you still make snowmen and snow angels? I hate being outside in the snow. I just walk around and threaten the children that if they hit me with any particle of flying snow they will be grounded forever. So no, I don't make snowmen.
17. Do you still have snow ball fights? See above.
18. What do you plan to do for New Year's Eve? Hopefully alcohol will be involved in the eating of yet more bbq'd meatballs.
19. What's the weirdest thing you've ever got for Christmas? Definitely the Bedazzler.
20. What's the most expensive thing you've gotten for Christmas? My MP3 player.
21. How early do you wake up on Christmas morning? Those weird children of mine are usually up by 6.
22. What do you usually get in your stocking? Santa only leaves things in the kids' stockings these days. That sucks.
