1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Hot Hot Hot chocolate (Polar Express anyone?)
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Not wrapped and not under tree, in family room with our stockings sitting next to gifts.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I prefer white, but I have always wondered about the blue lights.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? no

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert?) My mom’s cinnamon rolls that we have for breakfast on Christmas morning, oh our Mexican Fiesta on Christmas Eve is delicious too.
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child: We used to all sleep in the same room (Beebe's) and Jill slept in the closet one year and I slept next to her on the floor, we would stay up late and then get up early.

a.) The blue lights won't work out like you think. Scott and I got some for our first tree and they got completely lost in the green of the tree. We still have the lights if you want them.
b.) I dislike the snow too. Remember, I got stuck in three feet of snow the Christmas day I was supposed to fly to Beebe's wedding. My dad and I drove all the way to the airport before they canceled the flight. Very sad. It was almost 70 here yesterday.
Nice list. I think I have a new favorite part of Christmas - eating off the Carrier Goodie Plate for multiple meals. :) But it is just ONE of my favorites.
Hot hot chocolate for me, too. We just got a Cocoa Latte- Katie says you love yours, too.
Now I have that song in my head again: "hot, hot, hot..."
