Does Santa wrap presents, or just set them under the tree?
Amy: Clearly, it is the elves job to wrap. Santa is much to old and much to busy for that business!
Ashley: Of course not! The gifts were made by him, someone else can do the wrapping!
Colored lights on the tree/house or white?
Amy: Well, I have both going on right now, but I prefer white.
Ashley: I'd prefer white lights as well. That's what I have on my tree and outside this year.
Do you hang mistletoe?
Amy: Nope.
Ashley: Not usually.
What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Amy: I love this jello/applesauce/red hots stuff my aunt makes, but she doesn't make it every year. I am definitely a turkey fan...so I'll go with that otherwise.
Ashley: I'd have to say I'm a fan of the potatoes. Not exclusive to Christmas however...
Favorite holiday memory as a child?
Amy: Riding my new bike through the neighborhood on Christmas morning, even though it was freezing. Or, making noise so my dad would get up so we could open presents.
Ashley: As a response to Amy's bike comment- I got the same bike on the same Christmas morning, however too terrified to ride it, I sat on it in the living room for months! My favorite Christmas memory is playing dolls with my cousins on Christmas eve because I would usually get a new doll and was ecstatic to have someone that wanted to play dolls with me.
Snow- love it or dread it?
Amy: Generally, I would say dread it. I love looking at it on Christmas, but would rather go without because it makes it hard for people to travel to be together.
Ashley: Dread it! I like to look at it when its all clean white and smooth on the grass but after a few pictures I'm ready for Summer!
Real tree or fake tree?
Amy: Fake...our mom is allergic.
Ashley: Agree with Amy!
What is the most important thing about Christmas for you?
Amy: Spending time with family.
 |
| Yay for Elf Yourself! This picture cracks me up every time! |
Ashley: Being together with family and making the memories to talk about for years.
What is your favorite holiday dessert?
Amy: Um...all of them. Haha...if I HAD to choose I would go with just about anything pumpkin.
Ashley: Peanut Butter cookies with a Hershey kiss on top!
What is your favorite tradition?
Amy: I LOVE our Christmas Eve gathering with my mom's side of the family. There are tons of people in a house that isn't quite big enough for everyone, but I love that we are ALL together and the house is full of laughter.
Ashley: I love Christmas Eve as well, but my absolute favorite is setting up my ceramic Christmas village my grandma painted for me. She had one when I was a kid, gifted one to my mom and then to Amy and I when we moved to our own places!
What tops your tree?
Amy: A silver, glittery star. Follows my decorating theme!
Ashley: We don't have anything this year! I would like an angel in the years to come.
What is your favorite Christmas song?
Amy: Do You Hear What I Hear...the Glee version makes me cry and get goosebumps on my face...lol.
Ashley: Oh my this is a hard question... I think I enjoy all of them but Little Drummer Boy probably tops the list followed by Silent Night.
What do you leave for Santa?
Amy: Nothing anymore. Used to be cookies.
Ashley: Cookies!
Do you have a Christmas morning tradition?
Amy: My family always eats cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas morning...yum!
Ashley: We eat Cinnamon rolls while Amy and I watch the Macy's parade.
Do you prefer to shop online or at the mall?
Amy: I like to take at least one good mall trip of the season to get the holiday shopping experience. I've been doing more and more shopping online in the past couple of years, which I find to be much less stress.
Ashley: I have done a lot of shopping online. I love Black Friday shopping however after that I do most shopping online with a few trips out here and there.
