Christmas Island by Ella Fitzgerald.
Or Baby, It's Cold Outside by Ella and Louis Jordan. It's overplayed but I love the older version.

We went fake this year b/c our tree got so dry last year I'm like, never, ever again.
I think DH had the hardest time realizing the SDs didn't want to go hunt and cut down trees any longer.

Church service on Christmas Eve?
Nope.

Eggnog? Yes or No?
Love it but no one else does so I satisfy myself with above condensed milk.

YES. But it's usually just raining.

Presents wrapped or in bags?

What do you put in your stockings?
socks, chocolate, toiletries, fun little things like lip gloss.

No. It kills cats.
Fake stuff would be ok but I'm not buying it.

Favorite Christmas song? Rocking Around the Christmas Tree

Favorite Christmas movie? Home Alone

Christmas traditions? Driving around on X-mas Eve looking at Christmas lights. Years ago we would all go to my Grandmas and the cousins would have an Uno tournament and it was so much fun.

Real or fake tree? Fake but I would love to have a real tree one year.

Church service on Christmas Eve? Used to. I would like to start again.

Eggnog? Yes or No? Hell no! And when DH drinks it I make him brush his teeth afterwards before he can kiss me.

What age do you think kids should stop believing in Santa? BS stopped at 9 and it made me sad. I think it made him sad too Sad So no age to stop believing.

Snow on Christmas Yes or no? YES! And Christmas Eve.

Presents wrapped or in bags? Depends on my laziness level that year when I am wrapping. I usually wrap BS's though because it's always fun for a kid to unwrap gifts as opposed to just opening a bag.

Stockings- yes or no? Yes- though DH fails at putting stuff in mine and it makes me so mad. As a kid my stocking was always my favorite!

What do you put in your stockings? gift cards, candy, bath items, lotto tickets.

Mistletoe? I tell DH every year I want one. I look for it and can't find it.

Favorite Christmas song? What Child is this? arrangement by Mormon Tabernacle Choir fyi For me the words are so moving. Silent Night Especially if you give birth during Christmas like I did.

Favorite Christmas movie? Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol with Alistar Sims playing scrooge, 2nd would be George C Scott as scrooge.

Christmas traditions? Our home is decorated at Thanksgiving so we can enjoy the holiday times. Husband and I wrap gifts about 1 week before drinking egg nog or what ever drink we desire while kiddies are sleeping. After early Mass it's cocktails for adults, holiday punch for the kids and light Hor'derves THEN off to bed for the kids. We watch Its a Wonderful Life then Midnight Mass--it's beautiful from Rome.

As a little girl, My Dad would take bells and ring them outside our window. He would call us and pretend he was Santa Claus too....Grandparents would come by for cocktails on Christmas Eve. I remember the Orange Bulb Window Lights glowing--I am pretty sure we were sent to be at 7pm. Christmas was magical for us and we made sure it was the same for ours.
