Posted by Bethany on Dec 8, 2007 in Uncategorized |
Hello to everyone in blogland. I’m Bethany, the airheaded wench, and I’ve forgotten the password to my personal blog. So - until I get that straightned out, I’m just going to blog all of the wonderfully mundane things that go through my head here. Aren’t you all lucky?!?
Considering we’re coming up on Christmas, and I’ve so far managed to completely ignore the fact I haven’t even started shopping yet, I thought a bit of Christmas cheer was in order. So, without further ado, I’ll post the answers to the survey Angelle tagged me with a few days ago.
- Eggnog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate. Eggnog is just gross.
- Does Santa wrap presents or just put them under the tree? Depends. Most get wrapped, but some of the bigger ones might just go under the tree.
- Colored or white lights on tree/house? Colored.
- Do you hang mistletoe? Nope.
- When do you put your decorations up? Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving, but this year I STILL haven’t put them up yet. Tomorrow…I swear.
- What is your holiday dish (excluding dessert)? There are dishes other than desert?
- Favorite holiday memory as a child. Watching the classics for the week leading up to Christmas. You know the ones…Albert Finney’s Scrooge (the musical version), Santa Clause is Coming to Town, The Year Without a Santa Clause….the classics!!
- When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I’m the oldest, so I found out at some point during my early grade school years from a friend, lol.
- Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? We do Christmas Eve with the husband’s family, so we open tons of gifts Christmas eve. Growing up, we got to open 1 gift Christmas Eve, right after we read Twas the Night Before Christmas.
- How do you decorate your Christmas tree? The usual - lights, glass balls, garland, ornaments (no tinsel, though. Too messy!)
- Snow! Love it or dread it? Loathe it with an all consuming hatred. It’s pretty to look at, though.
- Can you ice skate? No. I’ve been bugging hubby to teach me for two years.
- Do you remember your favorite gift? A stuffed bear, the first gift hubby gave me when we were dating.
- What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Spending time with the family, and not having to work.
- What is your favorite holiday dessert? Chocolate Cream Pie.
- What is your favorite holiday tradition? Decorating the tree, watching The Classics, and reading Twas the Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve…I’m very traditional, LOL.
- What tops your tree? A star.
- Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? Both.
- What is your favourite Christmas song? I Hate People :D. No, seriously, it’s my theme song, and it’s from the Albert Finney version of Scrooge. OK…serious Christmas Song…hmmmm….I like all of the oldies, as long as they haven’t been bastardized by a boy band. All time favorites are probably Wonderful Christmastime, Sleigh Bells, Christmas Shoes (even though I ball like a baby every time I hear it), and all of the songs from The Classics. (Are you noticing a trend yet? LOL)
- Candy canes. Delish!
- Favourite Christmas movie? The Classics :D.
- What do you leave for Santa? Milk and Cookies.
- What is your Christmas Wish? To go out to Japan and force a little holiday spirit on Angelle ;).
