1.What is your favorite Christmas carol/song?

Christmas in the Northwest. (Which, I can find the CD that has it on Amazon.com ... but not here in the northwest. I'm amused.)

2.White lights or multicolored?

Yes.

3. Do you have a cut tree, live tree or an artificial tree?

Artificial. I have nowhere to plant a live tree, and no desire to kill a tree for my celebration, not to mention the nuisance they deal in terms of mess, fuss, and disposal. :)

4. Eggnog, mulled cider, or hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate. Or, none of the above and I'm equally happy.

5. Do you decorate your house with lights?

Nope. But I do enjoy looking at others that have been decorated!

Not usually. But we did this year - since we'd gotten married.

7. Do you like receiving Christmas letters/photos?

Yes.

Nope.

English, Spanish

15. Do you know all the words to Jingle Bells?

Yes, but not usually many - we don't focus on presents but there's always a little something there.

17. How do you eat a candy cane?

Generally, I don't. Those are decorations, not food. :)

Malls.

The lights/trees/beauty. The attempt to make things pretty, basically..
