Naughty or Nice

It's that time of year!!!! You know...when all your niceness has to balance out your naughtiness.

I love it. Yesterday, I was coming home from a long day in the school yard and I actually managed to hear Christmas carols (though really...is Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Christmas actually considered a carol?) all the way home. There was a little nip in the air. I swear...I smelled Christmas. (I smell a lot of stuff...snow, rain, Christmas...just saying I've got a good sniffer.)

I haven't put up the tree yet (you wouldn't believe all the laundry that accumulates on a 10 day trip away from home!) because I'm still putting everything back in it's place. Anyway, it's on the list for Saturday. I've set out my ornaments all over the coffee table...I'm so ready!

Anyway, to help everyone get in the mood I'm posting a little holiday questionnaire that I stole from my friend D. She never reads this blog (a mark in the naughty column for her!) so I didn't figure she'd care.

Just for kicks...if you wander by and are in the holiday spirit choose a number and leave your answer in the comment box!

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?Hot Chocolate.... with lots of marshmallows!

4. Do you hang mistletoe?oh yeah...any reason to kiss

5. When do you put your decorations up?Right after Thanksgiving

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?hmm that's hard. We don't have a 'set' meal for Christmas. I'll say my Mimi's meatballs and mushroom gravy.

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Our whole family went to Colorado for Christmas one year. The house was huge (or maybe it was because I was little) but the pipes burst so we stayed at these little cabins. It was the BEST Christmas EVER! I got my mom's Barbies that year. I'll never forget that trip :)

13. Do you remember your favorite gift?Yeah...but there are so many. I got a Lite Brite one year...if the picture is anything to go by I LOVED that gift. As crazy as this sounds one of my favorite gifts is the pair of pajamas (be quiet Mike!) that I get every year. I always know it's going to be there. It's comforting!
