1. Egg nog or hot chocolate. Hot chocolate just because I've never tried egg nog.

3. Coloured lights on tree/house or white? Coloured, on tree.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Not this year but we have done in the past. Come to think of it I haven't seen mistletoe anywhere this year.
5. When do you put your decorations up? Second weekend in December.
6. What is your favourite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? A roast turkey dinner with cranberry sauce, sausage, bacon, chestnut stuffing, roast potatoes and sprouts (yes, sprouts).
7. Favourite holiday memory as a child? Playing Space Invaders on my Atari, after wanting an Atari for months and months.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? What truth is that?
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No! (oh, alright then, yes).

16. What is your favourite holiday tradition? Videotaping the kids coming downstairs to unwrap their presents.
17. What tops your tree? Uh, I answered this in 10.
18. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? Both are fun, although I take more pleasure in giving these days - it was different when I was younger of course!
19. What is your favourite Christmas song? I believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake, I just like his voice.
20. Candy canes? Never tried one. They look nice though, probably better than they taste.
21. Favourite Christmas movie? In my childhood it was Wizard of Oz because I only saw it once a year. Now I have kids they watch it several times a year (sometimes several times a month). I like It's A Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street is good too.
22. What do you leave for Santa? A glass of milk and a mince pie and we leave a carrot for Rudolph.

You should definitely try candycanes. If you like minty candy, you'll like those. They are delicious in hot chocolate, because the mint melts off into the cocoa.
Don't be fooled by candycanes that are any other color. They are supposed to be red and white striped. All the others are imposters and taste like fruit.
Next ones I see I'm going to try! :)
Yes, definitely try a nice red and white candy cane...but don't rush to try egg nog. It is definitely an acquired taste that I haven't quite acquired.
There's a German drink which sounds as if it is similar to egg nog but I can't remember the name and haven't tried it either!
So what is a Meme? Someone asked me.. I couldn't give them an answer.
Hi, I just posted on your site what I think a meme is.
