Christmas Questionnaire

I saw this on Beth Moore's blog and thought I would post it also.

1. Fresh or Fake Tree

We use to do fresh trees when I was little and when Mike and I first got married. But then I had to be the one to clean up the mess so we now have one of those trees from Walmart that is pre lit!! I so enjoy it!! It's in three pieces and isn't too big. That way it doesn't kill you getting it in and out of the attic.

2. Favorite Ornament

My favorite ornament(s) would be my GWTW ornaments. Yes, I have Gone With the Wind ornaments.

3. Favorite Christmas Song

O, Holy Night. I know a lot of people have sang this song but Martina McBride's version is beautiful.

4. Favorite Tradition

We don't really have "traditions". Mike usually reads the story of Christ birth from Luke. One year he wanted to change that and read it from Matthew. Which didn't go over well, it sounds prettier coming from Luke.

5. Favorite Gift Ever Received

This one is difficult to answer. It would have to be either my pink chi iron because without it I am a big bush head!!! or the Campbell soup mug that I found in Mom's closet after she died. I collect Campbell soup kid stuff. She had bought the mug and put it away for Christmas.

6. Favorite Christmas Meal

My favorite Christmas meal is probably the ones in Kansas City with Mike's parents. Yes, it's very stressful up there but his Mom knows how to set a beautiful table along with the wonderful food.

7. Favorite Christmas Cookie

Ok, this is EASY...chocolate chip!!! But it doesn't have to be Christmas to have them.

8. Favorite Place to Be

Home with my family.

9. Favorite Memory

It would have to be when I was in Kindergarten or first grade. We lived in Oklahoma. My sister and I were being tucked into bed by both Mom and Dad, it was Christmas Eve and they were explaining that we needed to go to sleep so "Santa" would come. Now, I'm not making this up, really. We heard noises on the roof. I totally promise! Something was on the roof and it sounded like hooves. I know, I know...

10. Favorite Christmas Movie

It's a Wonderful Life has to be my favorite Christmas Movie. When George realizes his worth more dead than alive, then God sends Clarence to show him what a truly wonderful life he had. My daughter can't figure out why it's in black and white! Oh and Charlie Brown Christmas is right up there. I'd put both in with GWTW, of course!!! LOL!!!
