Okay, here's my versions of the Christmas questions:

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot chocolate, with marshmellows or whipped cream on top.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Wrapped, usually, and with different wrapping paper than we have around the house (the Santa wrap)
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored and the big old fashioned sized ones from the 60's, not those little ones for outside and colored lights that do things for the tree.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Never have, it's a parasite that grows on trees around here.
5. When do you put your decorations up? I try after thanksgiving, but like Becky, it keeps getting later and later.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Black and green olives, but they're not a dish.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: picking out Charlie Brown Christmas trees with dad at the Episcopalian church on 19th street. Ugliest trees you've ever seen, but still fun!
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? 5 years old, found the doll house under mom's bed that supposedly was from Santa. Oh well.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No, but the kids always want to
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? With ornaments the kids made when they were younger or with ornaments we’ve kept over the years. Kept Becky's answer since it was the same.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Love it, miss it, need it for the full Christmas feeling
12. Can you ice skate? Can I skate, people, PLUHLEASE!!!!! Still have the bum bruises to prove it!
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Nope, sad isn't it?
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Creating memories for my children
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? I guess anything with pumpkin in it.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? just what everyone else usually does.
17. What tops your tree? a star.
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? Ooh, giving, easy. I always buy myself what I want throughout the year.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, but not because it's mine, but it's the favorite of a friend and always reminds me of her and my life in Canada.
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? Yum! - Especially wintergreen ones.

That was fun. Just finished a final so I will go and enter grades. One down, two to go.

Congrats on getting the final out of the way. Just like other levels of school, the students don't think about the TEACHER not enjoying the tests! We enjoyed your answers!
