I took a fun tag from my cousin Bethany for Christmas. Thought it might be fun to sit back and think about the small things that I love about the holiday and try to steer clear of the hectic scene!

Christmas Tag

1. Do you like hot chocolate or egg nog?

Hot chocolate! Egg Nog is too rich

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just put them under the tree?

He wraps them and leaves the pile for each child...he doesnt want to have to tag whos is whos! :)

3. Colored or white lights on tree/house?

I prefer white, its more classic. Although this year I came home from work to the tree already lit with colored lights! Ah well what do ya do!

4. When do you put up your decorations?

I try the day after Thanksgiving. But as of this moment all that is up are those colored lights on the tree!
