A Christmas Me-Too
I have nicked this
from Alison and completed a competitive MeMe - however, I have shortened
it as my target audience probably knows all this already....
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Yuk.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? He
wraps them.
3. Coloured lights on tree or white? White.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Yes
5. When do you put your decorations up? From
choice, Christmas Eve, but it will be earlier this year, as I am fed-up
with going to France straight after Christmas and not enjoying them for
long enough.
6. What is your favourite Christmas dish (excluding dessert)? Goose.
7. Favourite Christmas memory as a child: On
Christmas Eve, having a temporary bed on the sofa in the living room,
and going to sleep with the Tree lights twinkling into the night. But
there are many others.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? What
can you mean?!
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yes
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Nicely.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? A
light dusting which should fall overnight on Christmas Eve. This has happened
once in my lifetime.
12. Can you ice skate? About
as well as I can skate at all, (which is slowly and carefully).
13. Do you remember your favourite gift? My
Teddy.
14. What's the most important thing about Christmas for you? Small,
cosy rituals and traditions.
15. What is your favourite Christmas Dessert?
Trifle.
16. What is your favourite holiday tradition? Parlour
Games: "My Mother Keeps a Shop" (a traditional variation on
"I went to John Lewis and I bought"), "Old Mother Reilly's Dead",
"Black Magic", and "Tippit"
(we played it very slightly differently from the game described in
the link) - none of which games seem to be played in our house now!
17. What tops your tree? Hand-made
porcelain Fairy.
18. Which do you prefer: Giving or Receiving? Definitely,
Giving.
19. What is your favourite Christmas Carol? God
Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
20. Candy Canes... Yuck or Yum? Sound
like I would not like them.
