1. What was your most memorable Christmas like?
Waking up and walking into the living room and finding new bikes. One of my favorite memories of this scene is the aluminum tree with the colored light wheel. I adore those still!
2. What was the best gift you ever received as a child?
Tie: My own set of luggage and a Thumbelina doll
3. What is your favorite cookie/candy to make at Christmastime?
Spritz cookies - I color the dough green and shoot out Christmas tree shaped cookies.
4. What does Christmas mean to you?
Family! You see, we try to celebrate Jesus' birth each day of the year. Christmas day is a time we try to slow down after the hustle and bustle of the season and focus on family.
5. What are your plans this year?
Many, many plans are being made. Making lists, checking them thrice and hoping we don't trip too many times.
6. What kinds of gifts do your kids desire?
My kids are grown...18 and 21. They desire electronics, music and clothes.
7. Which ornament that you own is the most special and why?
Oh, I have many special ornaments. My very favorites are the ones my kids made through the years. I also dearly treasure two that my mother-in-law made for my husband when he was a young boy.
8. Does your tree have a decorated theme ~ or is it mix matched?
Mix matched, though my husband greatly misses our themed trees BK (before kids).
9. Do you do anything special on Christmas Eve?
Stay home! I probably watch more TV that night than any other one night of the year.
10. When do you start your Christmas shopping?
January, though I do the bulk of it on Black Friday.
11. What is your opinion of the Christmas season in general?
It's truly the best time of the year. I LOVE everything about it.
12. What do you love about Christmas?
I love the feeling... everyone in general is in such fun spirits.
13. What traditions do you hold that you do every year?
We stay home all day on Christmas Day. Now that the children are older they sometimes go to friends houses later in the day but hubby and I have had a rule that this day is a day for our immediate family.
14. When do you open presents? Christmas Eve? Christmas morning?
Christmas morning!
15. What was the best gift you received as an adult?
Oh my! Probably the necklace my hubby gave me last year. (OK that's as far back as my memory can go.)
16. What is your favorite Christmas song?
Joy to the World and Beautiful Star of Bethlehem
17. Do you watch special movies and shows during Christmas?
Yes, I watch many Christmas movies and every Christmas show, including cartoons, that I can. My very favorite is the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
18. Do you send out Christmas cards or family letters?
Cards
19. Do you have a special breakfast or meal on Christmas day?
We have the same breakfast every year consisting of Sausage Egg Casserole, cinnamon rolls and apple sauce. Our Christmas dinner varies.
20. Do you decorate your whole house or just the living room area?
The whole house, including bedrooms and bathrooms.
21. Do you decorate the outside of your house with lights?
Most years we put up some lights, but not as many as I would like!
22. Do you exchange gifts with your friends?
Yes
23. Do you have a sad Christmas memory?
Nope
24. Do you sing in a cantata or sing Christmas specials?
Nope and the world rejoices.

No
26. Do you do anything to celebrate Jesus?
Not anymore at Christmas than any other time of year.
