Colored lights or white lights? If you had asked me this as a kid I would have said colored, but now white.. hands down.. no competition.
Real tree or fake tree? I haven't had a real tree for years, so I guess I'll go with fake. I always think I want a real one, but really it's so much easier dealing with a fake one. You don't have to deal with lugging it up the stairs, making sure it's watered, dragging it down after Christmas and having dead pine needles everywhere. Just light some Christmas Tree scented candles and pretend...
What is your least favorite thing about the holidays? There's little I don't like about the holidays, but I guess I'd have to say going into any store around this time of year. Can we say panic attack?
What is your favorite holiday smell? Any Christmas related candle scent
Who is your favorite reindeer? Dancer... I imagine he'd be pretty fun
What is your Christmas Eve ritual? I just really love the time spent with family. Hanging out, eating, drinking, baking, with all the Christmas decorations surrounding us. I used to love opening one present on Christmas Eve, but I don't do that anymore. I want more to open the next day :)
Are you a Friday after Thanksgiving shopper? See above when I mentioned crowded stores and panic attacks... absolutely not!
What is your favorite holiday food? I don't think we have all day to answer this one... but to name a few... cookies, cheesecake, dips, pies, apple crisp, celery and cream cheese. Every Christmas morning, my mum makes me a egg sandwhich. So what you say? What's so special about that? She fries the egg in bacon grease... lol... heart attack waiting to happen! Don't worry.. it's just once a year :)
How did you find out that Santa wasn't real? I don't remember exactly how I found out, probably some stupid kid at school. My parents always like to tell the story how I was sobbing in bed when I asked them and found out the truth. I yelled out afterwards through my tears, "I guess this means there's no easter bunny or tooth fairy either!"
Have you bought all your presents yet? I have 2 more to buy!!
Do you still make snowmen and snow angels? I haven't seen snow in years. If I had kids I probably would, but I don't do well with the cold so I don't see myself going out to make a snow angel just because.
Do you still have snow ball fights? Again, the whole no snow thing hinders me here. Yes, I'd probably do this. I'd deal with the cold to hide behind a car and whack Trey with a good snowbell when he least expected it!
What's your favorite Christmas movie? How can I chose just one?? Christmas Vacation, Elf, The Christmas Story, It's a Wonderful Life, and if you can count it.. Love Actually
What do you plan to do for New Year's Eve? This year I have no idea. I don't even know if we'll be back home in OK or if we'll still be on the road!
What's the most expensive thing you've ever gotten for Christmas? Hmm.. I really don't know to be honest...
How early do you wake up on Christmas morning? Whenever my little brother wakes me up.. usually around 7 I think..
What do you usually get in your stocking? Candy, gift cards, socks
What is your favorite religious Christmas carol? Oh Little Town of Bethleham
What is your favorite non-religious Christmas song? I'll Be Home for Christmas (see videos below for my fav. versions) and Baby, It's Cold Outside
How long do you leave up your Christmas decorations? They come down New Years Day or the day after
This gets me every. single. time

I love these surveys! Christmas and the holidays are the best time of year!
I do white lights too. And I don't think I even left the house on black friday.
White lights = classic.
BUT the hubby likes colored ones and he loves the incredibly flashy (ridiculous) houses..
So when we get a house we may have a problem.
I hate going to the stores this time of year. Here in Japan Christmas is strictly commercial.. so all these people stand outside the stores yelling at you to come in and buy their stuff.. crazy.
