Christmas!!!

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? In keeping with the Carter family tradition, Santa usually bags presents under the tree.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? White, they're much prettier in my opinion, although when we have kids I imagine that will change!

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No.

5. When do you put your decorations up? The day after thanksgiving, if I can wait that long!

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: Every year my sisters and I pulling out our special ornaments with our names on them, and getting to hang them on the Christmas tree.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I have 2 older sisters, do you REALLY think I EVER believed?!

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yes mam!

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? I was lucky enough to get my mom's hand-me-down Christmas ornaments, so all of the ornaments that I loved as a child I now get to see on my own tree every year. It's really special to me.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Seeing the kids get to open their presents, seeing how excited they get.
