Melani Blazer

Thanks Jaci….but it’s the holidays so I won’t say no…

Your Name: Mel–Melani Blazer

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? wrapped (mostly)

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? colored

4. Do you hang mistletoe? Yep, I have this giant gold jinglebell adorned with mistletoe that we’ve had for years. I always hang it in the hallway.

5. When do you put your decorations up? Sometime after Thanksgiving and before Christmas

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Um…..there are so many!

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: Spending Christmas as my grandma’s. She had a little trailer, but her kids, grandkids and sometimes others would pile in and it would be a roar of noise, but all love and happiness. We’d play with our toys, the adults would chat and there’d be lots of food.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I don’t remember. Probably when I recognized my dad’s handwriting on the tags.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? We split family visits between Eve and Day, so yeah.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? It’s more of a sentimental tree than a “theme”, tho I do like those. We have ornaments from when Hubby and I were kids, and the ones our daughter made, plus ornaments we’ve received as gifts or bought special.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Ugh, I hate being cold.

12. Can you ice skate? A wee little bit.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? engagement ring (although he’d already asked and I’d said yes months before, I got the ring at Christmas time)

14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
I’m a giver. I love to watch the faces of those I love when they open presents.

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? I have to choose?

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Making cookies for my friends.

17. What tops your tree? A light up Angel holding a star above her head.

18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving?
GIving, without any doubt.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
Don’t have one. But the hubby was goofing off and singing along (in a falsetto voice) to Santa Baby the other day and it was hilarious.

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? traditional peppermint ones? Yum. But I’m no go for these new “flavored” colored ones.

I don’t know who to tag (that visits often enough and hasn’t already BEEN tagged) so I think EVERYONE should try this. And let me know if you do, I want to get to know all of you, too!
