First off, I seriously need to live here...I've received a request for one Christmas Tag from Kika, and then saw another on Ariel's blog, so I'm combining the best questions of each!! I'm not going to "TAG" anyone, but you cool people out there should know you should do it too!! :)
1- What is your favorite Christmas song? This is hard. "Still, Still, Still," "O Come, O Come Emanuel," "Stars Were Gleaming" from the primary songbook, "Santa Baby," by Eartha Kit, "Mary did you Know?" by Clay Aiken, "I Wish I had a River," by Sarah McLachlan, "The Christmas Song," by Celine Dion, ALL of the Christmas songs that Michael Buble sings...
2- When was your most memorable Christmas? Hmm... when I was little, my sisters and brothers and I all slept horizontally in my king sized bed (I shared with my sister, Heather). They, being older, kept up the fantasy of Christmas, claiming to hear reindeer hooves on the rooftop! It was awesome.
3- What is your favorite Christmas treat? chocolate covered cherries (NOT cherry cordials...the kind you get from Harry & David) caramel apples, fudge, homemade caramel!
4- What do you dislike most about the Christmas season? That it goes by too fast and all of the dumb store commercials on the radio!!
Or I could live here...
Or I could live here...5- What do you like best about the Christmas season? The music, the "feeling in the air," and the fact that so many people are actually thinking about Christ and His purpose, birth, and love for us!
6- Who is the hardest person to shop for on your Christmas list? Probably my parents!
7- If you could receive one gift without money being an issue, what would it be? I'd love it if someone paid off all of my debts...house, car, etc... :) Oh, and bought me a new wardrobe for post-pregnancy :)
8- What is your idea of a perfect Christmas Eve? Just eating Christmas Eve dinner with my family, fireplace, with my Mom reading a Christmas story, Dad talking about the Savior's birth (Luke), and opening one gift!
9- Which do you like best, eggnog, or hot chocolate? Probably hot chocolate, but I really do like Egg Nog--as long as it's the LIGHT kind...
10- Do you prefer a fancy Christmas tree, or one decorated by the kids? I'm terrible. A fancy tree. As much as I'm sure I will love my kids, I'm planning on doing a small tree with their handmade ornaments on it, so it won't ruin the decor of my nice tree :) hehe...I hope my kids don't hate me! They can help decorate the fancy tree though...within reason!
Or here...11- What is your favorite family Christmas tradition? Eggs Benedict Christmas Morning, getting a new ornament each year.
12- Do you like fruitcake? Most, NO. But, there were some in Chile, where I served my mission, that we're bad!
13- Do you prefer skiing or snowboarding? Since I've only been skiing once, and never snowboarding... skiing?
14- Are you dreaming of a White Christmas, or do you say “Bah Humbug” to snow? LOVE the snow!! White Christmas all the way! I even got off work at 2pm today :)
15- What was your favorite gift from Santa when you were a child? My doll...I named her Victoria.
16- What is your favorite Christmas movie? #1 Home Alone, #2 Miracle on 34th Street, #3 While You Were Sleeping
17- Have you ever eaten snow? Yes, who hasn't? Although never eaten it w/ maple syrup (Ariel, haha)
18- Who do you wish could be with you this Christmas? My parents!
Or here wouldn't be too bad...
19- When do you put up your Christmas lights and decorations? RIGHT after Thanksgiving. Jordan won't let me before then!20- Real or artificial Christmas tree? Real trees are awesome, but pre-lit fake ones are the BEST!! The less work, the better. That gives more time to do the fun part--the decorating.
21 - Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, a really nice porcelain one that Jordan's grandma collected over the years from Avon... Jordan beat out all of the other grandkids to win it a few years ago! They were all jealous. I'm totally happy :)
22 - White lights or colored? WHITE. Definitely. Colored are ghetto. BUT, if I were to put up lights on my house, I'd do white on the house, and then a red tree, green tree, and red, white, green tree maybe... I know you wanted to know all of that...
23 - Angel on the tree or star? Star currently. Yeah, I think I like that best.
24 - Open presents Christmas Eve or Morning? The sibling present and/or pajamas Christmas Eve, and the rest Christmas Morning. Although, I've TOTALLY opened them all Christmas Eve before, thanks to my DAd's impatience! :)
25 - Favorite ornament theme or color? OK, I have to say I LOVE my Christmas tree this year--dark red, light green, silver, and white. It looks so beautiful!! My favorite theme would be what we do traditionally though. Jordan and I get a pewter ornament each year with the date engraved on it. Soon we'll have tons! (already got the Baby's First Christmas one for next year!)
It would be hard, but here would work too...26 - Favorite place for Christmas dinner? My Mom's or Shaunie & Bart's house. Good cooks in my family!
27 - What do you want for Christmas this year? I asked my in-laws for MAC eyeshadow so I can look HOT after the baby, haha...

I love egg not, too!! :) Loved this tag.
Sean went a little overboard on the gifts for me this year and I feel bad that he has like HALF as many gifts under the tree, so I've been opening one present every day to even it out before Christmas :)
