Favorite Christmas treat: mincemeat cake!
What does your Christmas tree look like: (taking Marin's easy way out...)
You can see most of the big ornaments, but there's a couple dozen snowflakes and bells nestled in there, too.
You can see most of the big ornaments, but there's a couple dozen snowflakes and bells nestled in there, too.When do you start shopping for presents, on black Friday or the day before Christmas? Shopping on Christmas Eve is forbidden, in this household--get it done by the 23rd, or wait 'til the 26th--but Black Friday's a bit too hectic so I'm a middle-of-the-month person.
Favorite Christmas tradition: the Christmas pageant before presents--alas! it is no more.
Best holiday memory: Orange rolls at 5am, or possibly Charlotte scaring the snot out of me when I went for my annual 3am stocking browse.
Fake or real tree: Fake--it doesn't have the smell but it won't melt or shed (I saw a really cool one with fluffy needles, pine cones, and a frosting of snow, thus the melt) .
Favorite Christmas movie: The Santa Clause, Charlie Brown
What do you want for Christmas this year? ... ...knitting stuff? macaroni necklaces from the kids? Jonathan to get his shopping done before the 23rd? I don't know...
Favorite Christmas story: Luke 2, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas in Texas

I miss the Christmas pageant too.
Nate liked the Christmas pageant too and now we do it at our house and some years it is just the four of us (with multiple parts) or we may include any family members that are around. Reading and acting out the parts doesn't have to take a lot of people.
