  12. Christmas lights display?my own house? not up yet but normally small bulbs white simple? fave to drive by? Griswald! tacky is rad!
  13. fave holiday icon collection?? Santa? nativity? snowmen? ours? is tacky christmas stuff, singing santa's , clocks with christmas songs on the hour. anything tacky. we are Super "low brow".
  14. christmas card? picture? letter? i like picture cards. and hope i can pull it off this year. do E-cards count?
  15. what is more fun for you White Elephant? or Draw secret Santa names? I love white elephant gifts . that are new and not crap.
  16. Holiday budget? low budget! seems like it will always be. what do you wish it was?I wish it was no stress but not over the top.
  17. Tree? real or fake? prelit ? Green or flocked? we have Green fake but not prelit. and not up yet
  18. best gifts are? Both! depends on who they are from. my sister janie makes the best homemade gifts, kids make darn cute ones too. i love a good store bought gift, but food treats are fabulous when homemade, I am easy to please.
  19. which is better in your opinion? surprises galore? or being sneaky and peeking? i am a sneaky peeker! i can't help it. I tell secrets too. i am not a fan of surprises. now since i do all the shopping including my own a surprise is nice but it is just as fun to know early too.
  20. do you do thank you cards for christmas gifts? i try to and already owe some. seems like no one does it or expects it anymore but it is always nice to know someone appreciates the thought put into a gift. or the effort at least. so i try to. my sister in Law was a great example of doing thank you cards. she always gets hers done in a timely manner.

Fun I'll do this on my blog tomorrow! You sure are an interesting person. I also am wondering how you make hot chocolate from scratch. I remember when I was little my family would buy a gallon of chocolate milk and go out intertubing and playing in the snow and my mom would be heating up that gallon of hot chocolate. I thought that was as home made as it got.... ha ha!
