There is one Christmas I will never forget! That's because it was the first year that my dad had a camcorder. He ended up taping 4 hours of us opening and playing with our gifts. So now I can watch the looooong tape anytime I want! (yeah, right...heehee!)

8. Formal holiday dinner or casual get-together food?
Casual!!!

9. Name the best holiday gift you ever received and why.
That would have to be the year that my parents gave my hubby and I a cruise for Christmas (and our anniversary and birthdays combined). I'll never forget it!

10. Describe the funniest holiday moment you've ever had.
Well it wasn't funny at the time, but it involved my sister. She's not one to think straight and one C-mas a few years ago she ended up turning on a stove burner. The problem with this was that she didn't turn on an empty burner, but the one with a glass dish sitting on it. Well the glass ended up exploding and it burned holes into the kitchen carpet (that's right, I said kitchen carpet!). My sister walked away without a scratch, but she has def learned her lesson!

11. Name a holiday memory that truly warmed your heart.
That memory would be of my son's first Christmas. He was just so much fun to watch as he opened up gifts for the very first time!

* How the Grinch Stole Christmas
* National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
* A Christmas Story

I would love to go sledding again! It would be the perfect snow activity since my driveway is so steep.

Hot Chocolate...mixed with a little bit of coffee!

15. Candy canes or fruit cake?
Def the candy canes!!!

16. Favorite holiday cookie?
Even though it's not a cookie, I love my mom's peanut fudge that she only makes for the holidays.
