4. Do you hang mistletoe? nope I don't
5. When do you put your decorations up? I put mine up the Sunday following Thanksgiving. I like to do it within three days after Thanksgiving
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? I like when my family has prime rib, twiced baked potatoes, and a veggie... that's usually our traditional Christmas meal and it's YUMMY!
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? I loved Christmases at Grandma Rochie's. You could definitely tell that she loved Christmas, and her family. I really miss her for the whole month of December. I think about Christmas approaching and how much she enjoyed that holiday and it makes me sad sometimes. However, I got her little winter town! Whenever Lucky, my kitten, gets older, I'll probably start putting it up. Either that or saving it so it doesn't get ruined.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I think I was about nine, ten, or eleven... I don't remember. All I remember is going out into the garage after Christmas and looking for one of my toys and I found where my parents had hidden the boxes for the dolls and stuff I received. I asked my parents about it and they said that Santa must have put the boxes there, but I didn't believe them

12. Can you ice skate? Nope, tried and didn't like it either. It hurt my ankles
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? One year I got one of those... I forget what they were called. They were Cabbage Patch dolls, but you didn't know their sex or name until you put this package under water. The outer paper dissolved and then it would say, "Congradulations, I'm a baby girl/boy and my name is _______" I got one named Daniel and he was my absolute favorite one ever.
