1.     One of my favorite Christmas traditions…. That’s hard. I love everything about Christmas, but one of my favorite things is making Christmas cookies (and eating the cookie dough… and the cookies… :D) while Christmas music plays. Or wrapping Christmas presents while watching a Christmas movie. <3

2.     I don’t know if this is my #1 favorite memory, but I really like it… One time two of my sisters, my mom, my grandma, and I all went Christmas caroling… with only one other family in the church we were attending at the time! It was kind of sad it was only us, but in some ways I think it was more fun. Bigger isn’t always better. ;)

3.     Growing up for a few years, every year I would reread the book The Christmas Barn. It was really sweet and nice.

4.     Every Christmas instead of having a big Christmas dinner that’s all fancy we have sandwiches, and sandwiches are one of my favorite foods… so that makes me happy. ;) I also am making some cinnamon rolls, which I’m hoping will be very yummy!

5.     Since I am very passionate about Christmas, I have a lot of favorite Christmas movies. It’s a Wonderful Life is my favorite ‘serious’ Christmas movie, but I think Santa Clause is my favorite funny Christmas movie! If I really had to choose just one, though, I’d probably go with It’s a Wonderful Life…

6.     Hm… Favorite Christmas decoration… I really like outside lights! White icicle lights are probably one of my favorites, but I also like it when houses have candles and wreaths in the window. So pretty!

7.     Does opening presents count as a favorite Christmas activity? I already stated I enjoy wrapping them… but one thing I like is watching all the Christmas movies I grew up watching with my sister. Sometimes we get new ones and critique them. J

8.     I’m not sure what my favorite Christmas drink is, because I really just drink water most of the time… but I used to make homemade hot chocolate with almond milk and it was pretty amazing, if I do say so myself.

9.     As for a favorite Christmas blog post idea, I’ve been kind of absent from blogging lately, so I’m not really sure what’s going on. I do like seeing Christmas blog posts with a lot of pictures! <3

10.  Alas, I’m boring. I don’t really know any short and sweet Christmas stories…. So I’d have to say my favorite would be on Jesus’ birth. I just don’t really know any other, sadly…. Maybe I need recommendations? J
