Christmas Questionnaire

This Christmas Questionnaire comes courtesy of the LPM blog.
I thought it neat and fun and wanted to hear your answers!


1. Fresh Tree/Fake Tree?
Always Fresh... it's just not Christmas without the fresh smell of pine through the house!

2. Favorite Ornament?
The Nativity tree topper that my husband and I found a few years ago. I know it's not an ornament per say, but it does add to the tree. It is Mary, Joseph and they are holding Baby Jesus. It goes on top and it's beautiful! I love it!

3. Favorite Christmas Song?
White Christmas, by Bing Crosby -AND- O Holy Night, by Mariah Carey off of her Christmas album. Man that CD is sooo good.

4. Favorite Tradition?
Christmas Eve night at my Grandmothers. We'd eat, open gifts and then jump in the cars and go see the "The Fantasy of Lights" at the University.
Christmas Morning, my sisters and I would get up at the crack of dawn...okay it was still dark, and we'd sneak into the living room to see what Santa had left us. We'd grab them take them to our room where we could turn on the light and just gawk over what we each got. We'd never open them. Then we'd sneak back put them back in the rightful places infront of the tree and go beg momma and daddy to get up so we could open Santa & Christmas gifts. GOOD MEMORIES! How i miss being a child sometimes.

5. Favorite Gift Ever Received?
My Raspberry Tart rag doll. It was one of the Strawberry Shortcake characters. I loved that doll. I still have her too!

6. Favorite Christmas Meal?
Your typical holiday meal... Turkey, Dressing, Gravy, Mashed Taters, Cranberry Sauce (from a can), Rolls you bake in oven in the box and GREEN STUFF... aka: Pistachio Pudding w/ goodies. We always called it the Green Stuff. It's one of my FAVORITE things still to this day!

7. Favorite Christmas Cookie?
The "Secret Family" Christmas Cookies that we would make with my Momma every year. We also made the Icing too. Once you marry the recipe is handed down to you. These are quickly becoming my husbands favorite too. I am looking forward to making them in the next week.

8. Favorite Place to be?
With my family... wherever that is.

9. Favorite Memory?
I have so many... Refer back to Question 4.

10. Favorite Christmas Movie?
BY FAR.... "WHITE CHRISTMAS" with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney & Vera Ellen. It's just not Christmas without that movie!
Not to mention the "Frosty", "Rudolph" and "Charlie Brown" Christmas TV movies. Cant' forget those! That's tradition!
