1. Real or artificial tree?
I'm a firm believer in a real Christmas tree.
2. Favorite Christmas tradition?
We always have hot chocolate while opening gifts.
3. Favorite Christmas song?
I have to go with Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
4. Favorite Christmas special or movie?
The original How the Grinch Stole Christmas is my all-time favorite anything. For a typical movie, I'd say A Christmas Story.
5. Do you open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
Christmas Day.
6. What are you looking forward to the most this Christmas?
Decorating the tree/apartment. We moved in together last December, so it was a bit chaotic to say the least. We didn't get a tree until the 22nd or something crazy like that.
7. What are you asking for this Christmas?
Hmmm, to be determined! Probably an itunes gift card, some K-cups and I'd like Hart of Dixie season 1 DVD.
8. What are you getting your H?
Have no idea! I keep pestering him for hints, but nothing yet!
9. How far will you be traveling for Christmas?
We're lucky that both of our parents are in our area - each about a half hour away (in different directions).
10. What does your family typically eat for Christmas?
Either turkey or ham, mashed potatoes. . . lots of Thanksgiving items usually.

1. Real or artificial tree?
Real tree for now.  We might eventually switch over to fake cause the sap destroys ornaments.  But we LOVE burning our tree in the springtime.

2. Favorite Christmas tradition?
Reading the Christmas story in Luke before opening presents.

3. Favorite Christmas song?
I like the whole Veggie Tales Christmas CD.  It reminds me of being a teenager and decorating the tree with my siblings and parents.  We were into Veggie Tales because I've got some nephews that were born right as it was getting popular.

4. Favorite Christmas special or movie?
Elf.  It reminds me of decorating with my college roommate.  We'd decorate then sit and watch Elf together.

5. Do you open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
Christmas Day growing up and with the hubby now.  His family opens on Christmas Eve.

6. What are you looking forward to the most this Christmas?
Hopefully getting a chance at some point around Christmas or New Year's to go see my family.

7. What are you asking for this Christmas?
I already got most of what I'm asking for cause hubby and I went out Black Friday shopping together.  But I would like to find more of my nice silver on ebay.

8. What are you getting your H?
Black Friday shopping.  He got lots of stuff.  But I'd love to figure out something I can get his that's a surprise.  No idea yet.

9. How far will you be traveling for Christmas?
Hopefully back to Cleveland at some point (750ish miles).  Not sure yet, though.  Definitely down to Mankato to visit my parents, though (100ish miles).

10. What does your family typically eat for Christmas?
Ham.  Sweet potatoes.  Cheesy broccoli.  Pie.  It's like Thanksgiving 2.0 without the turkey.
