gypsy -- backdated

(so sorry for this, I thought I had posted it! ack!)
What? I didn't tell you yet? We're moving to Kentucky!! Tomorrow!! LOL Well, actually the movers come to pack everything, then the next day they'll load it into the truck, then we get a few days for cleaning, then I get to leave with Krillin to be able to close on the NEW HOUSE. Oh, I didn't mention that either? How bad I am!! LOL My camera ate the pictures (I'm so mad I could just...spit!!), so I can't post them. But rest assured that it's cute. And yes, cute means small. :D But it's our first house, so that's okay.

And now for something different...

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate, as I'm lactose-intolerant.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrapped, but there's not very many from the big man, he leaves some little stuff.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? No lights so far, I haven't had the patience for them.

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No

5. When do you put up your decorations? Usually about 2 days before Christmas, but this year NONE for fear of the movers. LOL

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Pecan pie and ham. and a new one that I had this year: cheesy potato bake!! yum!

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Believe it or not, the year I "helped" Santa. :D see below!

8. When and how did you learn that Santa isn't real? My older sisters told my mom that she HAD TO tell me, when I was going on 10 years old. So they all told me that I would get to help Santa wrap the presents, and I had a blast! Then at one point, I looked around and said, "So, when will Santa get here?" My older sisters laughed (nicely, of course), and then explained why he wasn't there. I was kind of sad at the time, but now I know that was a good age for me to find out.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yep! I would like to start the tradition of new jammies, but it's going on 7 years now, I think I'm too late. lol

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? We just hang the ornaments on one at a time until the poor tree droops. LOL It's a mess and I LOVE it!

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? DREAD!! It's pretty, but I really hate having to actually deal with it. So living in Florida for the last 4 years has been great! :)

12. Can you ice skate? Yep!! nope, I'm not very good, but I LOVE it!!

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? I got a quilt from my parents! I was 13.

14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? It's Jesus' birthday!

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Pecan pie, and a peppermint-something-made in a trifle bowl, that mom made for Thanksgiving once...I think. :) It way a very long time ago.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? I LOVE finding the best deals on great gifts! LOL But on a serious note, I also love reading the Nativity story. I am so thankful for the Savior and what He did for us all.

cookie with milk

I don't have much time, as I should be in bed now, but just wanted to say we have a contract on a house, which means if everything goes to plan, then we will be buying said house when we move!! :D:D:D that's me excited!!!

You Are a Black and White Cookie

You're often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions.
When you're good, you're sweet as sugar. And when you're bad, you're wicked!
