Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate.  However, i like what Egg Nog leads to&#8230; (see #15).<br \/>\n2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree ? sit them under the tree.  He&#8217;s got elves for everything else. (ever wonder why to don&#8217;t see pregnant elves?)<br \/>\n3. Colored lights on tree\/house or white? Colored.  We&#8217;re very in tune to diversity when lighting up.<br \/>\n4. Do you hang mistletoe?  No, I like all my toes.<br \/>\n5. When do you put your decorations up? &#8220;When they come down.&#8221;<br \/>\n6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Sweet potatoes with marshy-mellows (not the in-law kind after a few drinks).<br \/>\n7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?  my birthdays.  Soon to be a national holiday.<br \/>\n8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? Dec 1979.  I saw the tape.<br \/>\n9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?  You bet. See #15.<br \/>\n10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Like a good husband, &#8220;Honey, the tree&#8217;s up!&#8221;<br \/>\n11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? I love snow.  Everyone who&#8217;s moved to snow areas from Texas have said &#8220;I said the same thing, and I hate it&#8221; but they&#8217;re clueless.  Snow is for skiing.  It&#8217;s that simple. The KIDS shovel it out of the driveway.<br \/>\n12.  Ignore this line.<br \/>\n13. Do you remember your favorite gift when you were a kid?  they varied.  Probably a game console (2600, baby!)<br \/>\n14. What&#8217;s the most important thing about the Holidays for you?  See #15<br \/>\n15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? My wife.<br \/>\n16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? See #15.<br \/>\n17. What tops your tree? My ceiling (it was that, or see #15).<br \/>\n18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving? See #15.<br \/>\n19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?  You guessed it, see #15.<br \/>\n20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?  Yum.  Have you even tried to talk with one of those thing in our mouth.  &#8220;yum&#8221; is the only sound you can intelligibly make.  Wait, that&#8217;s another #15 reference!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to my lovely bride for sending me this: 1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate.
