2. Letter to Santa?
- Dear Santa,
I’ve been really good this year (well, mostly) so I’d like to ask for a very special gift this year. That my kids will give me peace and quiet over the December break, with minimal arguments. And that they will learn what Christmas is really all about.
Love, Michelle
3. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
Sometimes it’s a mixture of both. Depends on how big the presents are.
4. Colored lights on your tree/house or white?
White and blue on the house (one bush has a coloured net) and white on the tree.
5. Do you hang mistletoe?
Nope – we don’t need it

Outside starting around December 1st, inside, bit by bit, after that.

My Wild Drunken Yams
8. Favorite holiday memory as a child:
Whenever my Nana and Papa (maternal granmother & grandfather) were with us for Christmas. Especially the year they gave me my Teddy Bear (I was 3 and it was actually for my birthday, but that’s December 26th so close enough). I still have that bear. Or, rather, my kids do now.
9. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
That he’s skinny for most of the year and only fattens up for Christmas or ?
10. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
No, but the kids are allowed to open one gift each (as both dh and I did as children), usually they get to open pj’s from my MIL.
11. How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
Preferably on my own, but usually with the kids “helping”.
12. Can you ice skate?
Definitely, I played Ringette as a child and then women’s ice hockey.

The teddy bear mentioned above. Any gift that the giver has really thought about.

The birth of a King.
15. What is your favorite holiday dessert?
Pumpkin pie and/or plum pudding with hard sauce.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Eating our way through the appetizers on Christmas and/or New Year’s Eve (depending where we are for each one, it’s usually one or the other). I make a ton of different appetizers and, starting early afternoon, they get laid out a few at a time until they are all out. Then we just graze our way through the day and night, refreshing as necessary, as people drop in and out visiting. There is no proper dinner that night. It’s not really needed.
17. What tops your tree?
A gold star.
18. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving?
Giving.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
Yum!
